01 / The evidence
A real report, reproduced in full. Aircraft registrations link the entries; labelled timestamps distinguish scheduled flights from confirmed departures.
14:00 UTC
PTY → YYC · Flight marked cancelled
15:01 UTC
YYC → LIR · Same recorded aircraft
The aircraft departed on another route 61 minutes after the scheduled departure. This does not establish the cancellation’s cause. 14:00 is not the cancellation time. The preceding outbound WJA2266 is also marked cancelled.

VERDICT: AIRCRAFT OPERATED ANOTHER FLIGHT. C-FXYK departed as WJA2262 to LIR 61 minutes after your scheduled departure (wheels-up time). Later operation does not exclude an earlier defect and does not by itself establish why your flight was cancelled. It gives you a precise question to put to the airline in writing. What you can do with this: ask the airline in writing for the aircraft originally assigned to your flight, the aircraft at the time of cancellation, the time of any change, and the nature of the defect. Compensation also depends on APPR conditions (airline size, length of delay, notice given); see the Canadian Transportation Agency guidance: https://protection-passager-passenger.otc-cta.gc.ca/en/refunds-and-compensation/flight-delays-cancellations-rebooking-refunds-compensation This is a factual summary of public records, not legal advice. You file your own claim and keep all of any compensation. (result sets used: 3)
At retrieval from FlightAware on 08 November, 00:27 UTC, the 72-hour window was unfinished. The next day’s AC306 was also cancelled; later entries were only scheduled. This snapshot cannot confirm later movement or support or contradict the airline’s explanation.
02 / Reading the result
Same recorded aircraft; measured from scheduled departure. None of these verdicts establishes the cause of a cancellation.
A confirmed gate or wheels-up departure of the same aircraft after your scheduled departure and within 24 hours. Scheduled times never count.
Later operation does not exclude an earlier defect and does not, by itself, establish why your flight was cancelled.
No departure for the first 24 hours, plus a later confirmed departure after hour 24 and by hour 72, proving the record continues.
An absence of recorded departures does not prove that maintenance caused the cancellation.
Everything else: missing records, an aircraft assignment that cannot be confirmed, or an observation window that is still open.
These records cannot support or contradict the airline’s explanation. We explain the gap. There is nothing to pay.
03 / A clear choice
Mohamed prepares each report manually for the first 50 passengers. The free report is yours to use, with no obligation to order a pack.
Claims companies pursue the claim for you for 25–50% of your compensation. We prepare evidence and documents for a flat $29 CAD. You submit and follow up yourself. We never take a percentage of your compensation.
Flat fee · Pay only on delivery
The free check comes first. Before offering a pack, we check APPR eligibility: disruption category, airline size, arrival delay and notice given. We explain whether a pack would help and ask you to confirm the order.
Pay only after the eligibility check, your order confirmation, and delivery. If the record is inconclusive or the disruption does not meet APPR conditions, there is nothing to pay. Compensation is not guaranteed.
Your free check arrives within 48 hours. APPR eligibility and your order confirmation come before any paid pack. Nothing is due now.
Compensation depends on more than aircraft movements, including whether a disruption was within the airline’s control and not required for safety. Read the official CTA guidance on delays, cancellations and compensation.
04 / Before you submit
Neither. We prepare factual reports and template documents, with no legal advice or representation. You submit and follow up yourself.
We explain what is missing. A gap does not prove the aircraft stayed grounded. An inconclusive result means nothing to pay.
We compare the stated reason with the record. You can redact personal details. It is not published or shared. See the privacy policy.
05 / Who does the work
Mohamed Sabbah, Milton, Ontario.
Background in records-based delay analysis: reconstructing from the documents what happened, when, and who was responsible. FlightWitness applies that to airline cancellations, with flight-tracking records in place of paperwork. I build and run it myself; I am not a lawyer and this is not a claims company.
