Air-Canada to create nut-free buffer on airplanes

In response to a recommendation by the Canadian Transportation Agency, Air Canada said it is willing to create a nut-free buffer zone on its airplanes. The nut-free zone would encompass the seats adjacent to the allergic passenger's seat, plus those in front of and behind the passenger. Passengers with nut allergies must notify the airline 48 hours in advance. The proposal is in response to complaints by two nut allergic passengers who say they were not accommodated when flying.
