Common questions
- How much does the Air Canada Flight 624 Crash Landing Settlement pay?
- Estimated payout: Compensation varies based on injuries ranging from scrapes and bruises to knee, back and shoulder injuries, along with post-traumatic stress. The total settlement fund is $13.2M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- Is the Air Canada Flight 624 Crash Landing Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Claims are filed at cbc.ca. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the Air Canada Flight 624 Crash Landing Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. Payments cannot be issued until the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
