In an e-mail to Global News, the CTA said: “This is an ongoing inquiry; we will not be conducting interviews on this case at this time.”

“There may have been systemic issues related to these flights,” the agency said.

“The inquiry’s focus is on whether Sunwing treated its passengers in a manner consistent with its terms and conditions of carriage for international flights and whether those terms and conditions are reasonable.”
