One-Person-One-Fare

One-Person-One-Fare
The obligation of (Canadian) airlines to give additional seating at no extra cost to morbidly obese passengers or disabled passengers with carers.

In January 2008, the Canadian Transportation Agency “ordered Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz and WestJet to adopt a one-person-one-fare policy” for domestic travel for disabled people “accompanied by an attendant for their personal care or safety in flight” or those who “require additional seating for themselves, including those determined to be functionally disabled by obesity.”

In November, Canada’s Supreme Court rejected an appeal by the airlines, ensuring that one-person-one-fare (presumably, OPOF) stands.
