WhereDaily News: Sunwing Airlines Sends in First International Rescue Flights to Repatriate Over 350 Canadians Stranded in Los Cabos, Mexico Following Category 3 Tropical Storm Odile

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - September 17, 2014) - This morning saw the arrival of the first international rescue flight at Los Cabos International Airport, bringing with it much needed food, water and medical supplies. The plane was the first repatriation service to land at the airport following its closure since Sunday when category 3, tropical storm Odile blasted the Mexican Baja California peninsula with gusts of wind of up to 125mph and over six hours of heavy rain. At 4:05 PM local time, the plane departed towards Vancouver bringing with it 190 passengers (including 5 infants) forced to abandon their vacation after the impact of the tropical storm, which included at least 35 Canadians who had booked with another carrier. The second service, currently on the ground at Cabo San Lucas airport awaiting the arrival of remaining customers, will depart for Toronto later this evening and is also expected to return home at full capacity, also repatriating Canadians who had not originally booked with the airline.
