Canada sets a clear condition for airlines to be able to grant government-backed loans and / or other financial assistance. Transport Minister Marc Garneau said that the airlines must first meet their reimbursement obligations to Canadian customers.

Otherwise you will "not spend a penny in taxpayers' money on airlines". The Canadian government is currently evaluating a comprehensive package of support for the entire aviation sector. The minister also added that Canada is far more reliant on air connections than any other country. But even in this neighboring state of the United States, delayed and in some cases not yet made repayments of flight tickets that could not be used due to the first lockdown are still causing frustration and discussions. The transport minister is now linking possible aid money to the repayment of debts to the passengers.
