Airfairness launches AI tool for delayed, cancelled flights that checks compensation claims in 2 minutes

Airfairness has launched Flight Navigator, an AI-powered tool that determines flight compensation eligibility in under two minutes, following the company’s acquisition of FlightorFight.ai through an 11-comment LinkedIn exchange. The Toronto-based startup, named Collision 2024’s #1 startup to watch in 2025, is positioning itself to capture a share of the $350 million in potential daily flight compensation claims.

What you should know: Flight Navigator simplifies the complex process of determining compensation eligibility for delayed or cancelled flights.

• The tool checks passenger itineraries against international passenger rights legislation in Canada and Europe, informing travelers if they might be eligible for up to $1,000 each in compensation.
• Users can build their trip details and identify which part of their itinerary caused travel disruptions, eliminating the need to navigate complex legal fine print.

The big picture: This launch represents the first milestone in Airfairness’ broader vision to create an end-to-end AI platform that removes stress, paperwork, and uncertainty from flight delay claims.

• Additional AI-driven features will roll out later this summer, offering travelers more tools to clarify their rights and receive compensation without back-and-forth negotiations.
• The company has already compensated thousands of travelers and is attracting increasing international interest.

The weekend acquisition: Airfairness acquired FlightorFight.ai, a New York-based travel tech startup founded by former Spotify Head of Innovation Máuhan M. Zonoozy, through an unusually rapid LinkedIn-based deal.

• Zonoozy and protégé Chloe Meuse built their flight compensation tool over a single weekend following the July 2024 CrowdStrike outage that stranded millions of airline passengers.
• The acquisition was completed within 11 LinkedIn comments after Zonoozy’s post about the tool caught CEO John Marzo’s attention.

What they’re saying: Industry leaders emphasize how AI is accelerating product development timelines and changing passenger rights advocacy.

• “When a flight has been delayed or cancelled, it’s bad enough. The last thing you want to do is to become a lawyer to see if you are owed compensation,” says John Marzo, CEO and Co-founder of Airfairness. “The Flight Navigator changes that. It puts clarity and confidence in the hands of the traveller.”
• “AI is moving at an unprecedented rate, and companies should recalibrate how they think products are built to remain at the bleeding edge,” stated Zonoozy. “What used to take a year to build now takes a weekend, a cursor pro account, and a couple upper deck seats. This is the future.”
• “This acquisition fast-tracks our vision to make Airfairness the world’s smartest passenger rights platform,” says David Linardi, CTO and Co-founder. “We’re all about fairness, efficiency, and building something passengers can rely on – without needing a law degree.”

Technical capabilities: The acquisition strengthens Airfairness’ ability to process complex aviation data and real-time analytics.

• The combined intelligent tools work together to reveal the real reasons behind flight delays, enhancing the platform’s analytical capabilities.
• Flight Navigator is now live at www.airfairness.com as the foundation for the company’s expanding AI-driven passenger rights platform.
