Health committee  Yes, we have made that application, and we have not received a response.

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  Thank you. I don't have a percentage for a refunds approach process, but what I can tell you is that just over a billion dollars in refunds on refundable tickets is in process.

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  That is correct. That was living to the provisions by way of the contract that they purchased the ticket under.

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  Well, it's a good question. We have a refund for cancelled flights for which the customer purchased a refundable ticket. In the cases where they are not refunded, they did not purchase a refundable ticket. I just want to highlight again that this is not out of the ordinary for

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  I will start. We've done a significant amount of work in the area of cargo. We've retrofitted a number of our 777 extended-range aircraft. We've taken out all the seats and retrofitted the aircraft to carry cargo. We've done that with a few of our Airbus products as well. It doe

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  Well, I'll start. I'll be quick, to allow my colleagues to respond. Look, we're a supply-and-demand business. We're in a state right now where demand is off. I don't necessarily see that transition into higher airfares. What it does mean for the businesses is that as long as the

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  Yes, Mr. Chair. Thank you for the question. Yes, we actually operated 21 special repatriation flights, and we brought back just over 8,500 Canadians on those flights. In addition, during the pandemic and during the crisis and the taking down and the tightening of border restrict

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  Thank you very much to the member for the question. We really understand the impact on the tertiary businesses. We just recently started a tourism round table, which consists of well over 45 members from the tourism/travel/visitor economy, of which other forms of transportation

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  I'll start quickly, just to give you a sense of the program. CleanCare+ was instituted roughly a month ago. We were the first airline to introduce the temperature checks and the wearing of masks. It's essentially designed to ensure that we take additional measures within the cabi

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  Yes, I would just echo my colleagues' responses. Air Canada has complied with the applicable regulations as of April 22 and the CTA statements. I'll also reiterate that for refundable tickets, we issued payment on those as per the tariffs and the regulations to the tune of $1 bil

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  Yes, I can answer that, and it's not because I didn't want to answer the question. I wanted to clarify your previous question, so hopefully that—

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  Thank you. I think what is important to know is that we still have a thousand people who are on the CEWS program. As for the CEWS program, we chose to not continue with it because of the shutdown of the borders and the decline in our business. Essentially we're running a 5% bu

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  With respect to January, I would say any decisions that were made early on in the year were largely commercial in nature. I would say the more pointed changes that we experienced would have come in late April and into early May, where we saw the border constraints continuing to b

June 22nd, 2020Committee meeting

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  No, I'm not sure you can conclude that. I wouldn't say that at all. You're drawing a parallel between the traffic going back and forth and—if I'm understanding you correctly—the rate of transmission between the two countries. I don't know if you can draw a parallel to that. I wo

Ferio Pugliese

Health committee  There are provinces within Canada that don't have a 14-day quarantine period.
