Intoxicated passengers stuck in Manitoba

This occurred in March. Report is from NAVCAN daily report. Well done AC and WS.

UPDATE; FAA Report: A Thomas Cook Airlines Airbus A330-200 (G-MLJL/ TCX2924) from Manchester, UK (EGCC) to Las Vegas, NV (KLAS) diverted to Winnipeg, MB (CYWG) due to 5 intoxicated British citizens onboard. The aircraft landed without further incident. All 5 passengers were removed from the aircraft by Canadian border officials and were held in custody until they were no longer under the influence. Both Air Canada and WestJet refused to carry them to another destination.
Pity, it doesn’t appear they were charged by the police. But the punishment certainly fits the crime.
