AIR Canada Sending $5,000 Checks to Passengers on plane that Crash-landed on March 28, 2015
Passengers on the Air Canada flight that crash-landed last week say they have received checks from the airline for CAD$5,000 ($4,015).
Flight 624, an Airbus A320, landed short of the runway in Halifax, Nova Scotia; it then hit a power line, and knocked out power at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Twenty-three passengers and crew were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
It adds that safety is a top priority for the airline, that the crash-landing was "not in line with the Air Canada service experience you should have been entitled to," and that passengers should have already been or will be contacted by an Air Canada representative.
The letter continues:
In the interim, we are pleased to provide you with the attached payment of FIVE THOUSAND CANADIAN DOLLARS which we hope will alleviate the consequences of this flight and restore your confidence in our commitment to the care and well-being of our customers.
This payment is on account of such losses, damages or expenses you have incurred as a result of this incident. However, please be aware that this advance payment does not constitute admission of liability, and would be set off against any liability that Air Canada may have to you for damages arising out of the events of Flight 624. However, should the investigation demonstrate no liability, this amount remains unconditionally yours.
We deeply regret your experience encountered onboard AC624 of March 28, 2015.
