Air Canada blocks 19 passengers from Sunwing plane party; organizer decries 'presumptions' by airline
CTV
The organizer of a trip to Mexico for a group of Quebec influencers is upset that airlines won't fly the group home based on what he called 'presumptions' about them. Air Canada said it has blocked 19 tickets so far, though it's difficult to screen out the passengers.
"I understand why many fellow citizens are upset about the current situation," James William Awad wrote in a statement posted on Blogspot on Thursday morning.
"The 111 private club is a dream and a vision that I poured my heart and soul into creating. This was my first travel event. I have significantly learned, and I am still learning from this experience."
Awad didn't go into detail in his blog post about what happened on the flight south from Montreal on Dec. 30, chartered with Sunwing Airlines. He said he would follow up with media interviews later.
Videos and photos from the flight showed people without masks standing on seats and dancing in the aisles as they drank alcohol, with some vaping.
