BERMUDA-AIRLINES-Airline plans to sue couple over diverted Caribbean flight HAMILTON

Feb 05, 2013

Bermuda, CMC - A Canadian low-cost airline says it plans to sue a couple after they were fined US$500 each in a court here following an altercation on a Caribbean-bound plane which forced the captain to divert the airline to Bermuda.

Bermuda police arrested the Canadian couple and their 22-year-old son after the Sunwing Airlines' flight, carrying 170 passengers, touched down at Bermuda's L.F. Wade International Airport last Friday. A younger son with the family was not arrested.

The plane continued its journey to its original destination on Saturday.
