Sunwing party passengers fined

The federal transport minister said 37 passengers on a late-December party flight from Montreal to Mexico have been fined a total of $59,500. Omar Alghabra’s office said 42 tickets were issued, including 18 for non-compliance with vaccination requirements and 24 for violations of masking rules. Videos of the charter flight from Montreal to Cancun show unmasked passengers singing and dancing in the aisles and on seats, some clutching liquor, snapping selfies and vaping.
