Wow, Bambi is thrilled to share with you all that Dr. Gábor Lukács, the founder and coordinator of Air Passenger Rights, an independent nonprofit organization of volunteers (https://shorturl.at/lMST6), received the most highly prestigious King Charles III’s Coronation Medal (https://tinyurl.com/hsdwp36v)!
The ceremony, which took place in Bridgewater (Nova Scotia) honoured several exceptional Canadians, including our own Dr. Gábor Lukács. BRAVO!
As a Canadian air passenger rights advocate, Dr. Lukács, or simply Gábor volunteers both his precious time and incredible expertise to serve the travelling public. Since 2008, he has filed over two dozens of successful complaints with the Canadian Transportation Agency. He cleverly challenged the terms, conditions, and practices of air carriers. This resulted in orders orienting them to better protect passengers and directing them toward better practices.
Dr. Lukács appeared before many Canadian courts across our beautiful country, including the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. He successfully challenged the Agency’s “lack of transparency and the reasonableness of the Agency’s decisions” (https://shorturl.at/lMST6).
“In 2013, the Consumers’ Association of Canada awarded Dr. Lukács its Order of Merit for single-highhandedly initiating legal action resulting in the revision of Air Canada’s unfair practices regarding overbooking. His advocacy in the public interest and expertise in the area of air passenger rights have been recognized by the transportation bar, the academic community, the judiciary, and the legislature” (https://shorturl.at/lMST6).
Dr. Lukács was born in Budapest. He lived most of his early life in Israel before coming to Canada to attend York University to complete his PhD in Mathematics by age 16! Yes, that young :)!
Besides his remarkable intelligence, what is striking about Gábor Lukács is his inspiring values, namely humanity, compassion, courage, honesty, fairness, respect, and care for his friends. There is more than a reason of why Bambi loves him and thinks highly of him. Along with Louis, today she is proud of him more than ever.
Please keep up the great service to your/our fellow Canadians, Gábor or Gabi. Thank you/Merci for being whom you are. Mazel Tov/Mabrouk!
