Dear Air Canada Customer Relations,

I am writing to formally request compensation for the significant delay I experienced on Flight AC847 on January 15, 2026, departing Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and arriving at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). My booking reference is .

My flight was delayed by approximately 3 hours and 22 minutes, arriving at 22:47 local time against a scheduled arrival of 19:25. Per FlightAware tracking records, the delay was attributable to a late-arriving aircraft — a situation within Air Canada's operational control. No weather advisory or air traffic control restriction was in effect for this route during the relevant departure window.

As Air Canada is classified as a large carrier under the Regulations, and as the delay exceeded the 3-hour threshold for the applicable compensation tier, I am entitled to $400 CAD in compensation pursuant to APPR s. 19(2)(b).

I note that Air Canada's obligation to proactively compensate passengers in these circumstances is not contingent on a formal complaint or approval process. Compensation is owed as a matter of law.

Pursuant to APPR s. 19(4), I request that Air Canada respond to this demand in writing within 30 days of receipt, either confirming the amount will be paid or providing written reasons for any denial. Failure to respond within this period may be treated as a denial, entitling me to escalate this matter to the Canadian Transportation Agency or to small claims court in my province of residence.

Please respond to the address above. I have retained a copy of this letter and the tracking record for my flight for my records.
