Stranded passengers call for more accountability for WestJet flight cancellations

​Passengers are calling on airlines to do more for customers stranded due to the latest wave of flight cancellations to impact Canadian travellers.

A system-wide outage at WestJet on Saturday led to the cancellation of over 200 WestJet, Swoop and Sunwing flights over the weekend. The airline later said the problem was caused by a "cooling issue" in its primary data centre. 

WestJet said that it scheduled an additional 10 flights for waiting passengers on Monday.

However, for some, the damage has already been done.
