In a disturbing incident, two passengers were removed from an Air Canada flight bound for Vienna after refusing to occupy seats that were covered in vomit residue. The unpleasant situation unfolded during a five-hour flight from Las Vegas to Montreal on August 26. Air Canada staff attempted to address the issue by using perfume and coffee grounds in the seat pouches to mitigate the stench left by previous passengers who had vomited. However, the seats and seatbelts remained wet with vomit residue, making the conditions unbearable.
The two affected passengers understandably complained about the dire state of their seats before the flight departed. Despite their complaints, the flight attendants explained that there were no available seats because the plane was fully booked. Surprisingly, the pilot intervened and informed the passengers that they would be removed from the flight and placed on a no-fly list for being ‘rude’ to the air hostesses, a decision met with disagreement from witnesses who claimed the passengers were not rude despite their distressing situation.
Air Canada later acknowledged that the passengers did not receive the expected standard of care from the airline. The incident has sparked outrage online, with many vowing to boycott the airline due to the poor treatment of the affected passengers.
One passenger who witnessed the ordeal described how Air Canada tried to mask the vomit smell with coffee grounds and perfume but failed to resolve the issue satisfactorily. The passengers requested blankets and wipes to clean themselves, but these were reluctantly provided. Ultimately, the pilot gave the passengers an ultimatum, leading to their removal from the flight.
The incident has raised questions about the airline’s handling of such situations, with some suggesting that the flight should have been delayed for a thorough cleaning and disinfection of the affected area, given the potential health risks to passengers. Others criticized Air Canada for not properly addressing the cleanup of biohazardous waste and raised concerns about the sanitary conditions on the plane. Many expressed their frustration with the pilot’s decision and called for action to be taken against him. Overall, this disturbing incident has left passengers and the public deeply concerned about airline safety and passenger well-being.
