Passengers stranded in Manchester; flight lands in Toronto 2 days late
TORONTO — An Air Canada flight that saw passengers stranded in Manchester, England, for two days landed in Toronto on Sunday afternoon.
The airline said it will be in touch with the affected customers for a full refund.
The flight to Toronto was scheduled to leave Manchester on Friday, but Air Canada said as many as 197 passengers had to wait until Sunday before taking off.
An Air Canada spokeswoman called it an “unfortunate situation” caused by mechanical problems and crew duty restrictions.
