When Sarah Ashmore-MacDonald saw the news that Air Canada would be cancelling some summer flights to address delays and general chaos at airports, she immediately checked her email — she hasn’t seen her parents in two years, and had booked flights with her boyfriend to see them in Saint John months ago.

There was nothing in her inbox — a sigh of relief. Her departing flight from Toronto on Thursday evening was just hours away.

Then she checked the Air Canada app. That’s how she found out that her return flights on July 9 had been cancelled. In fact, the leg from Toronto to Fort McMurray has been suspended entirely — but not until after she flies out.

After finally getting an Air Canada agent on the phone, Ashmore-MacDonald said she was told that she can ask for a refund for her return flight, but that she will have to find her own way home. That’s what she plans to do, but she’s upset at the short notice and lack of information.

“There’s no way that this decision was made in a day,” she said. “They could have given people a lot more notice.”

An air passenger advocate is urging those with cancelled Air Canada flights to know their rights after the airline announced Wednesday it would be cutting back service in July and August.

It comes following mounting frustrations against the airline over multiple reports of delayed flights, disruptions, and luggage sitting at a stand still.
