GATINEAU, Que. — The Canadian Transportation Agency says it’s issued a $97,500 penalty to Air Canada for violating the Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Regulations.
The penalty of $97,500 is for several violations of the regulations.
The agency says that on August 30, Air Canada failed to assist a wheelchair user to disembark its plane.
The passenger, who has spastic cerebral palsy and can’t move his legs, was forced to disembark on his own.
