Air Canada is one of Canada's biggest airlines, but that doesn't mean it is our favourite. The company has terrible reviews online and their social media pages seemed to be filled with complaints about delayed or cancelled flights, lost luggage, and less than impressive customer service.

Their reputation is understandable, especially after hearing the news that an Air Canada flight recently shut down the runway at Japan's biggest international airport by completely messing up their landing.
An Air Canada Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner became stuck for over 4 hours after taxiing onto a taxiway under construction at Tokyo-Narita Airport, Japan.

The Air Canada flight from Montreal had recently landed at Japan's Narita airport, which is their biggest international gateway when they somehow misunderstood directions and got lost on the runway. They ended up on a taxiway that was under construction and got stuck.
The plane and over 200 passengers on board were stranded on the taxiway for hours and prompted the closure of the runway while they had to be rescued and towed back to the right spot.
