They have been definitely denied initially for their behavior on the flight to Cancun. They we're acting senselessly, no mask, heavy drinking, vaping , not respecting any rules. The staff on the plane had to resort to staying in the back of the place because they we're afraid of their behaviors. Police we're waiting for them when they got back to Montreal.

Since when can you not drink on a plane? I've never really looked if vaping on a plane is against the rules, but it's pretty easy to do that covertly enough anyways

Since the pandemic started you can't drink alcohol on planes, at least in the US (I realize this was happening overseas but I suspect that rule is not just the US). I've heard a flight attendant say it's a $10K fine for drinking on a plane now but I don't have confirmation/sources on that, I just know all US flights include a no alcohol announcement since the start of the pandemic. Vaping is also illegal on planes, having nothing to do with the pandemic, for the same reason as smoking (shared air space).

You are not allowed to bring your own liquor on the plane, plus, they we're drinking a ridiculous amount of alcohol and getting shit face. You aren't allowed to vape neither, like you aren't allowed to dance and have sex. I don't get why people don't see how their behaviors was completely unacceptable. The authorities also think it was unacceptable since they we're all picked up when they landed back.

It wasn't a commercial flight. It was a charted, private flight. What they are or not allowed to do ultimately would come down to the service provider... If the service provider was OK with it, they could actually do all of those things.

Agreed and clearly the provider wasn’t okay with it

And the organizer didn't have a permit https://journalmetro.com/actualites/2754587/party-avion-offi...

Clearly the Canadian Media and Government weren't ok with it. Sunwing only took a position after this story was terrible PR. If this were serious they would have diverted the plane or arrested them at the gate...

Since you have to wear a face mask.
