Flightclaim.ca, Recipient of the Quebec "Coup de coeur" Award Courtesy of Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program

MONTREAL, Nov. 21, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - The company FlightClaim is proud to have been presented with the "Coup de cœur" award by Deloitte's Quebec jury during the 2019 Technology Fast 50 program. This distinction aims to celebrate the accomplishments of a company that stands out for its technology, business model, and vision. Co-founded by Jacob Charbonneau in 2016 with the mission of helping passengers whose flights have been delayed, cancelled, or overbooked receive compensation, the company has also made a name for itself thanks to its commitment to innovation and leadership, as well as its performance and contribution to the province's economic development.    

"We are very honoured to have received this award," said Mr. Charbonneau. "For the past three years, our team has dedicated itself to supporting aggrieved passengers, informing them of their rights, and fighting for better air traveller protection from political bodies. Our mission is far from over, and the recognition from a world-renowned firm like Deloitte only pushes us to double our efforts."

NUMEROUS NOMINATIONS AND DISTINCTIONS // This is not the first time that this budding company has been honoured with a prestigious nomination or distinction. In fact, FlightClaim counts no less than five awards celebrating its entrepreneurial accomplishments, on top of having ranked as a finalist in four other prize lists:    

• Winner of the "Service aux individus" category of the local and regional portion of Défis PME MTL 2017.

COMPLETE ADOPTION OF THE PASSENGER CHART // The end of 2019 brings with it some very good news; as of December 15, 2019, Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) will come into full force. While most measures covered under these regulations came into effect on July 1, 2019, an almost six month extension was granted to airlines to accommodate them. Beginning mid-December, passengers whose flights have been delayed or cancelled will have access to compensation or alternative arrangements as stipulated in the APPR, a right that FlightClaim has been advocating for from the beginning, and an unprecedented win for all Canadian passengers.
