Federal Court of Appeal upholds decision to boost accessibility at Air Canada

The Federal Court of Appeal is upholding a decision by the country’s transport regulator that aims to boost accessibility for air travellers living with a disability.A judicial tribunal has dismissed an appeal by Air Canada AC-T that sought to overturn a requirement to fully accommodate passengers whose wheelchairs are too large to fit through the cargo doors of some aircraft.The ruling Friday marks the culmination of a case that has dragged on since 2016, when Tim Rose was told his power wheelchair would not fit on an aircraft, preventing him from travelling to Ohio as planned.
