I'm working on a story about Air Canada Flight AC1624, which left Pearson airport in Toronto for Ft. Lauderdale just before 10 am on June 17, 2026. It was scheduled to depart at 8:20 am that morning.
I am looking to connect ASAP with any passengers aboard this flight, or airline/airport staff who may have witnessed an incident prior to takeoff involving a family of four who was ordered to leave the plane that morning.
I’m also interested in speaking generally with current or former crew members about Air Canada's seat assignment overrides, passenger conflict protocols, and "flagging" procedures.
If you have any insight — or know someone who does — please DM me or email [email redacted]
Thanks!
