TORONTO—Crew members of a Pivot Airlines plane that had been kept in the Dominican Republic since April have landed in Toronto and are reunited with their loved ones.

CEO Eric Edmondson said in a statement Thursday night that the crew demonstrated “incredible courage and resilience throughout the harrowing ordeal” that saw them detained for nearly eight months.
