A Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class action lawsuit against Air Canada over fuel surcharges. The lawsuit, approved to proceed as a class action Monday, argues the country's largest airline "illegally overcharged its customers" by more than double the cost of fuel on some flights. Michael Vathilakis, the petitioners' lawyer, said Air Canada misrepresented the stated purpose of the surcharge, which was to partially offset the fluctuating price of jet fuel. Air Canada said Tuesday it disagrees with the allegations.Chorus Aviation Inc. (TSX:CHR). Unchanged at $7.68. The head of Chorus Aviation Inc. is playing down questions about how the sale of Bombardier Inc.'s CRJ Series aircraft will affect the company's leasing business, which continued to make strides last quarter. Joe Randell noted Tuesday that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., which bought the floundering regional jet program from Bombardier in June, scooped up the maintenance and marketing activities for the CRJ — though not its manufacturing operations — as part of the $550-million deal.

An independent proxy advisory firm is urging Transat shareholders to support the proposed $720-million takeover of the tour operator by Air Canada. Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. recommended on Sunday that shareholders vote in favour of the deal based on the original price of $13 per share and reiterated its support when Air Canada boosted its offer to $18 per share or about $200 million more. ISS says the acquisition by Canada's largest airline is supported by the significant premium and certainty of the all-cash offer, execution risks associated with other alternatives and the sale process that gave other bidders time to submit superior offers.Brookfield Business Partners (TSX:BBU.UN). Up $1.26 or 2.7 per cent to $47.92. Brookfield Business Partners has signed a deal to buy a controlling interest in Genworth MI Canada Inc. for $2.4 billion.

Judge greenlights class action lawsuit against Air Canada over fuel surcharges
MONTREAL — A Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class action lawsuit against Air Canada after the company allegedly used a surcharge to bill passengers for the cost of fuel and then some.The lawsuit, approved to proceed as a class action Monday, argues the country's largest airline "illegally overcharged its customers" by more than 200 per cent — and more than the fuel cost itself — on some flights.Michael Vathilakis, the petitioners' lawyer, said Air Canada misrepresented the stated purpose of the surcharge, which was to partially offset the fluctuating price of jet fuel.“What Air Canada did was represented to passengers that they were collecting this amount in order to offset volatility, when in fact the allegations are that they were in many cases actually reaping a real profit on it," Vathilakis said in a phone interview.“In multiple cases, they charged an amount that was equal to or higher than the entire cost of fuel for the flight.”The lawsuit cites one example in which Air Canada allegedly charged business and economy passengers 105 per cent of the total fuel cost on a flight to Paris in January 2014.Each economy passenger on that flight allegedly paid $238 in fuel surcharges alone — $163 more than they should have, according to Air Canada's definition of the charge. The airline took in $73,878 in fuel supplements on the flight, rather than the $23,164 it should have charged, according to the lawsuit.The suit states Air Canada's contract with consumers allows it to charge them up to one-third of the cost of fuel.The class action concerns customers in Quebec who bought international tickets to destinations outside the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean between April 2012 and November 2014.The plaintiffs, brothers George and David Itzkovitz, are requesting damages of $273 million for affected passengers.Air Canada said Tuesday it disagrees with the allegations."We intend to vigorously defend our position through the courts," spokeswoman Angela Mah said in an email.The lawsuit is not the first time frustration over fuel charges has bubbled to the surface.Last year, the Quebec Court of Appeal upheld a lower court authorization of a class action lawsuit for provincial residents who paid fuel surcharges when redeeming Aeroplan points to buy Air Canada flights within Canada or the U.S.In 2017, the Quebec Superior Court authorized a class action against Air Canada over fuel surcharges that allegedly topped actual fuel costs on international flights.

Court dismisses Air Canada pilots' appeal of mandatory retirement at age 60
OTTAWA — The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed a legal challenge by former Air Canada pilots who claimed that the company was wrong to force some to retire at age 60.The dismissal of an appeal by 18 ex-pilots stems back to a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruling that the airline had the right to compel some pilots to retire at an age it deemed to be the industry standard.The issue of retirement age for Air Canada pilots has come up both at the tribunal and in federal court numerous times in the past decade in an industry plagued by pilot shortages.Friday's decision marked the third case to fail on appeal following rulings at the tribunal and federal court levels.Pilots let go in 2011 and 2012, who brought forward the latest legal challenge, argued unsuccessfully that Air Canada discriminated against them by entering into a collective agreement that imposed mandatory retirement.
