The federal government says it will quadruple the maximum fine that can be levied against airlines for repeated violations of the air passenger bill of rights from $250,000 to $1 million.

Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon made the announcement during a news conference on Friday.

The regulations, formally known as the air passenger protection regulations (APPR), came into force in 2019 and require airlines to compensate passengers for delays or cancellations that are within their control.
