You may be required to present the credit card used to purchase your ticket at check-in.

If a flight is delayed or cancelled due to an unforeseen problem, we'll do our best to keep you well-informed at the airport and on board the affected aircraft. We will promptly provide timely updates, including the reason for the delay or cancellation: 

• as soon as we're aware of such a delay or cancellation, and then;
• at regular intervals of 30 minutes until a new departure time for the flight is set, or new travel arrangements for passengers have been made; and
• as soon as possible when new information is available.

Extended Delay or Cancellation

Some delays and cancellations are within an airline's control, whereas others, like those caused by severe weather or airport and air traffic disruptions, are simply out of our hands. Whatever the reason for the delay or cancellation, our agents will do everything possible to assist you.

Standards of Treatment

When a flight is delayed or cancelled due to reasons outside of Air Inuit's control, we will provide you with the following: 

• Alternate travel arrangements our Air Inuit's next available flights, as well as change the return, if necessary, at no additional cost; or a refund of the unused portions of your ticket;
• Access to a means of communication.

When a flight is delayed or cancelled due to reasons within Air Inuit's control but required for safety, and you have waited two hours after the departure time indicated on your ticket, we'll provide you additionally with the following: 

• Food and drink in reasonable quantities, considering the length of the wait, the time of day and location of the airport;
• Hotel or comparable accommodations for overnight delays, for out of town passengers, subject to availability and within reasonable distance from airport, along with transportation to the hotel or other accommodation, and back to the airport.

When a flight is delayed or cancelled due to reasons within Air Inuit's control, and you have waited two hours after the departure time indicated on your ticket, we'll provide you additionally with the following:

Weather Related Flight Delay or Diversion Notice

Carrier is not liable for room, board and ground transportation or any connection if a flight is delayed or diverted due to weather conditions. Passengers will be transported from the diversion point to their original destination on the carrier's next available flight.

We do not intentionally overbook our flights. However, there are instances, where for example we need to switch to a smaller aircraft, or there may be a mechanical issue with a seat, that can create a situation where a flight becomes overbooked. In these cases, we'll ask for volunteers willing to take another flight in exchange for compensation.

If there are not enough volunteers, we may need to deny boarding in accordance with our boarding priority policy. With few exceptions, passengers denied boarding are entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and our airline's boarding priorities are available in our Domestic Passenger Tariff.

We will do our best to facilitate the assignment of a seat to a child who is under the age of 14 years in close proximity to a parent, guardian or tutor at no additional charge. We encourage you to take advantage of our pre-boarding, in order to guarantee that you sit together as the majority of our flights are operated without seat assignment.

No pets are allowed in the cabin.

Service animals for special needs passengers shall be permitted in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Domestic Passenger Tariff.

Emotional support animals are not accepted.

Liability for loss, delay or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. For travel wholly between points in Canada, the liability limit is $2300 CAD per passenger. Special rules may apply to fragile, valuable or perishable articles. For further information, please consult your carrier.
Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further information, please consult your insurance company representative.
