However, yesterday Air Canada apologized in this matter that the passengers did not get the service they deserved.

The matter of taking off the passengers from the Air Canada flight has now reached the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The Public Health Agency of Canada said they are in contact with Air Canada.

In fact, on August 26, in a flight coming from Las Vegas to Montreal, two passengers refused to sit on the seat covered with vomit, due to which there was a lot of argument in the plane and the passengers were taken off the plane.

All this incident was shared by a woman named Susan Benson on her Facebook post.

However, yesterday Air Canada apologized in this matter that the passengers did not get the service they deserved.

The Public Health Agency of Canada says it is part of its responsibilities to ensure that exposure to bodily fluids on planes or trains does not pose a risk of disease spreading in the country.

Currently, this matter will be investigated seriously.
