Pivot Airlines crew detained in Dominican Republic for months back in Canada, CEO says
“The crew has demonstrated incredible courage and resilience throughout the harrowing ordeal which saw them wrongly detained in the Dominican Republic for nearly eight months,” he said.
“Their steadfast commitment to public safety and the rule of law is a testament to the professionalism of all Canadian air crew.” The crew was detained in early April, after local authorities alleged that drugs had been found at Punta Cana International Airport.However, the Mississauga, Ont.-based airline has said the crew themselves were the ones who reported suspected drugs on board their aircraft.
After they shared their concerns with local authorities, however, the Pivot Airlines crew was detained — and the airline CEO says while they have remained in the country ever since, they’ve lived in fear, hiding from narco criminals furious with the crew’s decision to tell officials about the drugs.
