At least two Atlantic Canada flights to England aboard Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft were cancelled Tuesday amid the continuing fallout from Sunday's Ethiopian Airlines crash.
Air Canada cancelled London-bound flights from Halifax and St. John's after the United Kingdom banned all Boeing Max 8 jets in its airspace.Air Canada said Tuesday it was working to rebook passengers through its Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto hubs.
Angela Taylor, whose daughter was flying for the first time alone on the plane Tuesday, said she felt the Max 8 aircrafts should be grounded in Canada. "I'm a nervous flyer anyway, so that would have put me over the edge," said Bryony Taylor, who had been away for three months.
