Air passengers who are bumped from overbooked flights or who are forced to sit through long delays could receive up to $2,400 under proposed regulations for the government's promised passenger bill of rights. The proposed compensation will use a sliding scale with larger airlines and longer delays requiring bigger compensation payments. The Canadian Transportation Agency is releasing the draft regulations for public comment with an aim to having the rules take effect by next summer.
