The Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities
Regulations (the "Regulations") were published on June
25, 2019, with the majority of its provisions slated to come into
force on June 25, 2020.
The Regulations apply to large airlines (defined as airlines
transporting at least 1,000,000 passengers in each of the two
preceding years) operating within Canada, from Canada to a
destination in a foreign country, or from a destination in a
foreign country to Canada. The Regulations also apply to operators
of Canadian airports where at least 200,000 passengers emplaned and
deplaned during each of the two preceding years or are located in a
provincial capital. We discussed the effect of these Regulations in
our previous blog post which can be accessed here.
