Required for safety: Meaning for Flight Refunds and Claims

A Canadian APPR classification for a disruption within airline control but necessary for safety. It is not the same category as ordinary commercial control.

Why it matters

A safety-related event is still within the airline’s control under Canada’s framework, but it has its own compensation treatment.
