Canada Will Punish Airlines For Treating Passengers Badly
August 2, 2017
Karen McCrimmon, the parliamentary secretary to Transport Minister Marc Garneau, expressed anger Monday after passengers on Air Transat Flight TSC157 were forced to remain without air conditioning, food or water for more than six hours when the plane was rerouted to Ottawa International Airport due to bad weather.
She condemned Air Transat’s lack of concern for their passengers’ well being, stressing on the new passenger bill of rights that would impose heavy penalties on airlines which treat their passengers poorly.
