Stranded in paradise: airline catching up after flights delayed by severe weather disruptions
Blake Dauvin and his girlfriend left on the same day with the same expected day back, but said the constant delays have been weighing on everyone.“I want to go home. People have jobs, people have families, especially over Christmas we’re missing out on those things,” Dauvin added.
He noted that he was hopeful, saying that a Saskatoon flight to the Dominican is on its way for Wednesday, and that he hopes to catch it heading back to Saskatoon.“A number of return flights continue to be impacted by delays due to displaced crew and aircraft resulting from the aftermath of severe weather disruptions across Canada.
“Our teams continue to proactively work around the clock with several airline partners to subservice aircraft and return customers home. We have completed two recovery flights so far this week, have planned another eight recovery flights which are scheduled to depart up to and including December 30, 2022, and are currently finalizing recovery plans for our remaining passengers in destination.
