A group of Canadian travelers have been stranded in Mexico after a video that shows them partying without masks surfaced online.
Sunwing Airlines cancelled the group's return reservations, citing the group's behavior on a December 30th flight from Montreal to Cancun. Meanwhile, Air Canada and Air Transat have released statements in which they say the group has been banned from flying on their planes as well. "They will be denied boarding based on our legal and regulatory obligations to ensure the safety of both our passengers and crew, which is our top priority," Air Transat officials write.
The video shows the maskless group passing around a bottle of vodka before singing and dancing in the aisles and on the seats. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it's "a slap in the face to see people putting themselves, their fellow citizens and airline workers at risk by being completely irresponsible."
