The transportation minister said he plans to strengthen passenger protection rules, but laying the blame on enforcement is \u0027debatable\u0027
Sunwing Airlines CEO, Len Corrado, said he did not speak to Alghabra until January 5, long after the Christmas flight chaos that left thousands of Sunwing customers stranded overseas had been resolved. But the minister says he was co-ordinating the government’s response. “I didn’t have personal communication with the CEO until the issue slowed down because I felt it was unnecessary to duplicate resources… I was personally involved in what happened from day one.
“The rules were there and the airlines broke rules…If the debate is that, if the fines were thousands of dollars higher, would that have prevented this, it’s a healthy discussion,” he said.
