Tel Aviv to Toronto flight delay compensation
Tel Aviv to Toronto is 9,295 km, which puts it in a band worth ₪3,670 under the Aviation Services Law — against CA$1,000 under the APPR. Two laws reach this route and they do not pay the same; claim under the one worth more.

| Statute | Per passenger |
|---|---|
| the Aviation Services Law | ₪3,670 |
| the APPR | CA$1,000 (9h+, within the airline's control) |
Both figures are per passenger and are set by distance alone. Where two laws reach the same flight you claim once, under whichever pays more — you do not collect both.
the Aviation Services Law is ₪3,670, and the APPR is CA$1,000 — about 36% more for the same flight. Converted at a common rate, so you can see the gap rather than take our word for which is larger. You claim once, under one of them.
The distance, and why it decides the amount
TLV → YYZ is 9,295 km, measured as the great-circle distance between the two airports. That is the measure the statutes use — not the miles actually flown, and not the routing. A diversion or a longer flight path does not move you into a higher band.
The thresholds that matter here: EU261 and UK261 step at 1,500 km and 3,500 km; the Israeli Aviation Services Law steps at 2,000 km and 4,500 km. Those different steps are why the same flight can be worth more under one law than the other.
Under EU261 and UK261 this route is already past the last step at 3,500 km, by 5,795 km, so it sits in the top band. Under the Israeli Aviation Services Law this route is already past the last step at 4,500 km, by 4,795 km, so it sits in the top band.
This also answers a question people ask after a diversion: a longer flown path does not move you up a band, because the measure is the straight-line distance between the two airports and it does not change.
When it applies
Three hours or more late at arrival, a cancellation you were told about less than fourteen days ahead, or being denied boarding against your will. Under the Israeli law the delay threshold is eight hours rather than three, which is why a moderate delay often pays under EU261 while a long one pays more under the Israeli law.
