The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld rules that bolster compensation for air passengers subjected to delays, cancellations and damaged luggage on international flights.

In a victory for air travellers across the country, the country’s highest court unanimously dismissed an appeal by a group of airlines that challenged Canada’s passenger rights charter on Friday.
