Thank you 'Often1', that is all good then.
It's exactly as you said, his ticket is issued based on his Canadian passport "John Henry Smith" but his EU passport only shows "John Smith".

One of the reasons we took out his rather long middle name on his EU passport which he got much later in his life was for exactly that reason, he got so annoyed with his long middle name every time we booked flights for him.

Thanks again, very helpful information.
