The airline said in the past few hours that its “crews are working to minimize return flight delays and get affected customers home”.

“We expect to repatriate most or all customers affected by flight delays by January 2.”

34 rescue flights have already taken place and 43 more are planned in the coming hours.

Still worried about leaving Montreal

Sunwing passengers interviewed by TVA Nouvelles at Montreal-Trudeau Airport were trying to reassure themselves before going on vacation.

“My concerns? Make sure you get back on time. I’m working on Monday, that’s all I’m worried about,” said one passenger.

“It’s been a long time since we booked. Of course it’s a shame we couldn’t get on the plane. But for now, everything is fine,” put another customer forward.

In addition, Sunwing invites all affected passengers to submit a claim for compensation or reimbursement. Website.
