Activist sues Air Transat, CTA over incident stranding passengers in Ottawa

An airline passengers rights advocate wants a court to force Air Transat to pay millions of dollars in fines related to two incidents where passengers had to spend hours parked on an Ottawa tarmac.
Two Air Transat flights were forced to detour to Ottawa by bad weather last July. The 590 passengers spent about five hours sitting in the parked aircraft and were not allowed to get out.
The Canadian Transportation Agency found that Air Transat had committed 590 violations of airline regulations
