N.S. judge to rule on 2015 Air Canada crash landing class action settlement in June
The $18 million settlement aims to compensate passengers injured in the 2015 Halifax crash and avoid protracted litigation, with Air Canada covering most costs, lawyers said.
- A Nova Scotia's Supreme Court judge will rule in June on a proposed $18,075,000 class-action settlement involving Air Canada, Nav Canada, and the Halifax International Airport Authority regarding the 2015 crash of Flight 624.
- In March 2015, Flight 624 from Toronto struck power lines during a snowstorm at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, causing the aircraft to land about 200 metres short of the runway before bouncing 600 metres along the tarmac.
- If approved, the $18,075,000 settlement avoids a "lengthy trial and likely appeals," with Air Canada paying more than $15 million of the total, according to case documents.
- The hearing is scheduled for June 22 in Nova Scotia's Supreme Court, with Halifax-based Wagners collaborating with MacGillivray Law and Vancouver-based CFM Lawyers LLP on the case.
