For travellers flying with Air Canada on Monday, the odds were their flight was delayed; 63 per cent of the carrier’s trips landed late, the most of any large airline across the globe, according to tracking service FlightAware.

Some 52 per cent of all flights out of Toronto’s Pearson airport were held up, more than any other airport in the Western Hemisphere, and No. 3 worldwide after Sydney and Frankfurt.

Travellers are owed up to $2,300 from airlines for costs incurred due to baggage delays or lost items under Canada’s passenger rights charter and the Montreal Convention, an international treaty.

“They may typically tell you that we are going to reimburse you only $100 or $250 for the first 48 hours, which is a lie,” said Gabor Lukacs, president of the Air Passenger Rights advocacy group.
