Still worried about leaving Montreal
Sunwing passengers interviewed by TVA Nouvelles at Montreal-Trudeau Airport were trying to reassure themselves before going on vacation.

“It’s been a long time since we booked. Of course it’s a shame we couldn’t get on the plane. But for now, everything is fine,” put another customer forward.
