The federal government is looking into strengthening passenger rights regulations following extreme travel delays experienced by Sunwing Airlines customers over the holiday season, says Transport Minister Omar Alghabra.

“I had a meeting with Sunwing Airlines President and his team. I expressed to him the frustration that I felt on behalf of Canadians, and I know many, many of their customers felt, and I posed many questions to him,” said Alghabra on an episode of the Vassy Kapelos Show podcast on iHeartRadio on Jan. 5.
