Canadian Company Says AI Will Help Speed & Simplify Air Pax Compensation

Canadian Company Says AI Will Help Speed & Simplify Air Pax Compensation

AI could help speed up the cumbersome passenger compensation process in Canada.

Airfairness is a Waterloo, Ontario-based data technology startup dedicated to helping passengers secure compensation for delayed and cancelled flights through the use of AI.

“Air passengers have a clear legal right to compensation, yet too often that right is buried under complexity, blurred by misinformation, and challenged by airline pushback,” said John Marzo, CEO. “Airfairness cuts through that noise. 

The company has taken a step forward by being approved as an authorized participant of the Law Society of Ontario’s Access to Innovation (A2I) program. 

This is a regulatory initiative designed to support companies that use technology to expand access to legal services while protecting the public interest. Having been accepted, airfairness is now officially recognized by Canada’s largest legal regulator as a compliant and vetted provider of innovative legal-service technology.

“Our AI makes the process fast and fair and, with the LSO’s approval, travellers can trust that their claims are handled with both efficiency and integrity,” Marzo said.

“At its core, this entire industry is powered by data,” added Zohair Khan, COO of airfairness. “But data only creates value if it’s handled with transparency and used to build confidence. When trust is everything, ensuring passengers know exactly how their information is used and protected is just as important as delivering results.”

As an authorized participant of the Access to Innovation program, airfairness is now able to provide regulated legal-type services through technology with a level of regulatory certainty that was previously unavailable. 

The company says the approval allows it to innovate more rapidly, testing new AI-driven tools and automation features to streamline the flight compensation process while maintaining strict compliance with legal standards. 

For Canadians air travellers, airfairness says this milestone makes it easier than ever for passengers to exercise their rights without needing expensive legal representation.
