Porter Apologizes To Thunder Bay Father And Daughter

Porter Airlines is sorry a Thunder Bay man and his 16-year-old daughter were recently bumped from a flight to Toronto.
The company says they’ve already reached out to Greg Ulok by email but they also plan to speak to him by phone to clarify the situation directly.
Porter says the plane wasn’t overbooked, it was over weight restrictions.
Ulok’s daughter was travelling to Toronto for a cancer treatment and Porter says when their team at the airport became aware of the circumstances it was too late to board them on that flight.
The company worked directly with another airline to coordinate a flight that would get the father and daughter to Toronto in time for the appointment.
Both received $500 travel vouchers and the value of their flights was refunded.
