F8653 on August 9, 2026 — was it eligible for compensation?
The record below is built from the flight’s actual operating data, the aircraft’s inbound rotation, and the archived weather observations — the three facts that make or break an airline’s excuse under the APPR.

- Actual arrival

Inbound aircraft: F8652 from YYZ arrived 6h 10m late — a knock-on excuse only exempts the airline if it took all reasonable mitigation (APPR ss. 10(2), 11(2)).
Weather at YHZ: recorded: very low visibility (under 1 SM) — conditions that could support an outside-control categorization.
Weather at YYZ: 6 observations in the ±3h window — nothing recorded that is typically incompatible with safe operation. A “weather” excuse would need to explain that.
If this disruption was within the airline’s control (not safety), the regulations set
$700

- · Delay compensation applies when you were informed of the disruption 14 days or less before departure.
- · Lateness is measured at arrival at the final destination on your ticket, not at departure.
- · Claim in writing within 365 days of the disruption; the airline must respond within 30 days.

Were you on this flight? If the airline denied you — or you never claimed — the $49 kit builds the whole fight: evidence pack, ready-to-submit claim, rebuttals to their exact excuse, and the court-ready escalation.
