The Federal Court of Appeal has thrown out a bid by two men to get off the country’s no-fly list after they weren’t allowed to get on planes in Vancouver in 2018.

In a ruling this week, the court dismissed an appeal by Bhagat Singh Brar and Parvkar Singh Dulai after they lost their constitutional challenge of Canada’s Secure Air Travel Act in the lower court.
