FAQ

Booking and flight information

At Propair, we have several frequent boarding addresses. Propair uses private terminals (FBOs) for some of these destinations, especially in major centers. These establishments are generally located just a few minutes from the main terminals. Here are the various FBO addresses:

We can arrange transportation to and from the airport for you.

  • Bus rental (Toronto)
  • Limousine rental (service not available in Rouyn-Noranda)
  • Car rental
  • Cab

To Toronto, we offer a shuttle service to Toronto Pearson Airport. To take advantage of this service, simply select a flight to Pearson, and you'll arrive at Toronto's Billy Bishop airport, where a bus will be waiting to take you to your final destination, Toronto Pearson International Airport.

For travel from the Montreal FBO to the main terminal, you can ask Skyservice about the availability of a shuttle.

If a shuttle is not available, we recommend that you plan your transfer in advance: the cab ride to YUL's main terminal takes about 10 minutes.

If you have any questions, please contact our customer service department: 1 819-762-0811

At Propair, our turnaround times are very short and we make sure our flights are flexible. Please note that agents arrive 1 hour before flight departure to proceed with boarding.

We suggest you arrive between 1 hour and 30 minutes before your flight to ensure efficient boarding.

You will need to present one of the following pieces of identification:

  • Valid (unexpired) photo identification issued by a government authority in Canada* showing your name and date of birth

    *(Fishing, hunting and pleasure craft licenses are no longer accepted as identification for domestic flights.)

  • A valid passport

For our Propair flights, no customs clearance is required except for certain U.S. charters.

Before their 36th week:

Pregnant women can travel on Propair flights without a medical certificate.

Between the 37th and 38th week:

Pregnant women may travel provided they present a medical certificate drawn up within the last 72hrs before departure by an approved doctor or midwife at check-in. This certificate must confirm the number of weeks of pregnancy, the date(s) of travel and must also state that the passenger is fit to fly.

39th week and over:

Pregnant women cannot be accepted on airline flights after the 39th week, so the return flight must take place earlier.

Pregnant women who wish to travel with a baby on their lap may do so.

Pregnant women may not sit in the bulkhead or emergency exit rows. In addition, it is strongly recommended that pregnant women sit on the window side of the aircraft, to facilitate movement in the event of evacuation.

Baby from 7 days to 23 months

  • Only one baby under the age of two may travel free of charge if seated on the lap of a passenger aged 16 or over. The parent/guardian is entitled to one extra piece of luggage (stroller, playpen, car seat) not included in the baggage allowance.
  • The baby for whom a seat has been purchased must be properly installed in an approved child restraint system, and the applicable fee must be paid. Regular baggage allowance applies.
  • Identification showing the child's date of birth is required at check-in. Travel for infants under 7 days of age requires a doctor's medical certificate authorizing travel.
  • Canadian Aviation Regulations do not allow adult passengers (over 16 years of age), for any reason whatsoever, to care for more than one infant on board the aircraft. This rule applies both to a baby sitting on the adult's lap (occupying the same seat as the adult) and to a baby in a restraint system.

Children aged 2 to 11

  • This passenger is considered a child for the purposes of air travel and will pay the applicable fare (child fare), if available, when accompanied by a ticketed passenger at least 16 years of age for the duration of the trip.
  • This passenger must be supervised by a passenger aged 16 or over, or left with the carrier's minor escort service, if applicable, for children aged 8 or over traveling alone (see section, Unaccompanied minors).
  • For children aged 8 to 16 inclusive, an unaccompanied child travel service is available. See "Unaccompanied minors" section for more information.
  • The use of an approved child restraint system is optional for children aged two and over.

Children aged 12 and over

  • This passenger is considered an adult for air travel purposes, and the applicable adult fare must be paid. This passenger may travel unaccompanied and unsupervised. They may also accompany an infant or a child aged 7 days to 11 years, if 16 years or older.
  • Children aged 12 to 16 inclusive may use the minors' escort service at the request of their parent/guardian. Please note that for any request to accompany minors in this age group, the travel restrictions relating to the minors' accompaniment service will apply.

All reservations for babies and/or children under 12 must be made with the reservation center.

Pets :

Only domestic dogs and cats are accepted on board our flights under certain conditions. Only one pet per flight.

The pet must be in an appropriate cage or carrier and will be included in the customer's carry-on baggage allowance. The cage must be placed under the seat in front of the passenger, and the pet must remain in the closed carrier under the seat at all times. The passenger assumes full responsibility for the animal.

  • The maximum dimensions of the cage are: 10" x 15" x 9" (length + width + height).
  • The weight of the animal and the cage must not exceed 13 lbs.

Only properly ventilated cages are accepted. The cage must be large enough to allow the animal to stand up, turn around and lie down in comfort and safety. No part of the animal may protrude from the cage. Transport may be refused if the cage is too small.

The pet must be at least 12 weeks old and fully weaned.

Passengers travelling with pets may not sit in the bulkhead or emergency exit rows. Specific seats will be assigned to you at check-in to ensure compliance with procedures and regulations in force.

In case of allergies, there must be a minimum of 5 rows between a passenger allergic to dogs and/or cats and a passenger traveling with the animal in the cabin. If they are seated 5 rows or less apart, the allergic passenger will be relocated to the opposite side of the aisle from the aircraft exit, to avoid crossing the aisle with the pet.

All reservations for pets must be made with the reservations center at least 72 hours in advance. A fee per segment is applicable at the time of booking.

Service animal :

A certified guide dog or service animal is accepted on board any Propair aircraft provided it is held in a harness. At the time of booking, the passenger must also provide a certificate attesting that the animal has been trained by a professional animal training organization for the purpose of assisting a person in need of assistance.

The carrier will accept, free of charge, the service animal of a person requiring assistance. This person will be entitled to the full baggage allowance.

The carrier will determine, in consultation with the person requiring assistance, where he or she and the animal will be seated on the aircraft to ensure sufficient space.

Seat selection is not available on our aircraft, so there is no need to check in 24 hours before your flight.

Unfortunately, there are no toilets on board our flights.

While we make every effort to provide an optimal shipping experience, unforeseen situations can sometimes arise. Our claims procedure is designed to support you and facilitate the resolution of these situations.


Before initiating a claim, we invite you to consult the service levels and guarantees associated with the service you have booked, as well as the terms and conditions of the contract. All air transportation is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the air waybill.

Boarding procedure

The counter opens 60 minutes before the flight. Please note that our counters only open at this time. Before this time, no agent will be on hand to welcome you or check you in. Although we recommend that you arrive 60 minutes before departure, thanks to the efficiency of our private terminals (FBOs), you can arrive up to 30 minutes before your flight and still benefit from a fast, streamlined check-in process.

Please note that check-in closes 20 minutes before flight departure. Be sure to arrive on time to avoid delays or denied boarding.

At check-in, you will be asked to provide your name and valid photo identification. For security and identification purposes, your full name, as it appears on your travel document, must appear on your reservation. You may also be asked for your date of birth and gender at the time of booking.

The counter agent will also issue a boarding pass with your name on it, which you should keep with you all the way through the airport until you board your flight.

You will need to present one of the following forms of identification:

  • Valid (unexpired) photo identification issued by a government authority in Canada* showing your name and date of birth.

    *(Fishing, hunting and pleasure craft licenses are no longer accepted as identification for domestic flights.)

  • A valid passport

  • A valid NEXUS card

  • Valid U.S. Permanent Resident Card

  • Valid U.S. Enhanced Driver's License

Have your bags weighed (cabin and hold). For your hold baggage, the counter agent will affix an identification tag.

  • Rouyn-Noranda: your bag will be placed directly on the conveyor belt by the agent.

  • Sudbury: you'll have to take your bag yourself to the secure baggage drop-off area.

  • Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City and Gatineau: you'll need to leave your bag at the location indicated by the counter agent. The agent will direct you to the appropriate area.

15 minutes before departure, our counter agent will announce boarding, and we invite you to proceed to the boarding gate.

Our agent will check your boarding pass and valid photo ID.

Connections between Propair flights

Your itinerary may include a connection. In this case, the pilot will inform you during the transfer. Our team will take care of the baggage transfer, so all you have to do is carry your hand luggage and personal belongings to your next aircraft. All Propair connections are made in private terminals, so you don't have to travel far.

If your itinerary includes a connection, your boarding pass for both segments will be given to you on departure: all you have to do is present it at the next boarding.

Refuelling

Refuelling may be necessary during a stopover. For safety reasons, passengers must leave the aircraft. The pilot will show you the procedure, which only takes a few minutes.

Costs and luggage

Each passenger is entitled to the following baggage allowance:

  • 1 piece of checked luggage of 25lbs confirmed per passenger.
  • The maximum dimension (length + width + height) is 158 linear cm.

Please note that the baggage allowance will remain on a piece-rate basis. However, the first piece of baggage will be free of charge up to 25lbs. Charges will apply for the second and subsequent pieces.
