A WestJet logo is seen in the domestic check-in area at Vancouver International Airport, in Richmond, B.C., on Friday, May 19, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck.“Between Friday and Monday night we saw about 22 cancelled departures which is really double when you consider the arrivals,” James Bogusz, CEO of Regina airport said.“They had to take a fleet, which is typically around 180 aircraft, and they had to wind it down to about 30 planes on very short notice,” he said.

“The night before, we got a cancellation notice at 11:55 pm while we’re sitting at a bar celebrating our friend’s marriage and we found out that our new flights were booked for Thursday,” Getty said. “We had to book our flights for a day later than we were expecting to come home for double the cost.”WestJet requires people to wait 72 hours before filing for flight reimbursement — leaving Getty in limbo.Canadian dead in Ireland, Global Affairs Canada says
