We’ll see. AFAIK, nobody has yet tried to litigate this portion of the APPR, and an airline might go ahead and make a nuisance payment rather than pay the legal bill. Then again, it’s possibly something that the US DOJ or State Department would want to take up. The reason that EC.261 excludes flights to the EU on non-Community carriers is that they didn’t feel they’d have jurisdiction. Ottawa appears to disagree.

Anyway, OP seems satisfied, so this probably won’t be the test case.
