WestJet is appealing an order by the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) to pay $1,000 to a passenger whose flight was delayed due to staffing shortages.
The Canadian airline claims it should not be held responsible for the staff shortage at the time of the passenger’s delayed flight because it was a health and safety issue.
