200 Canadians Stranded in Cuba by CanJet and Hola Sun Holidays

A group of about 200 Canadians, mostly from Southwestern Ontario, scheduled to fly to Toronto from Cuba via Can Jet Flight 0755 on Sunday, February 21, 2010 have been stranded following a mechanical difficulty with the Jet.  The group arrived in Cuba for a vacation in Cayo Coco on Sunday, February 14, 2010.  Some of the passengers are complaining of no food as they wait out the delay which has now gone over 24 hours.  They have complained that there has been no communication from Can Jet or the Tour operator Hola Sun of Toronto indicating when the flight will happen and many have to get back to Canada to return to work or school.  A spokesperson fro Can Jet says the parts to repair the plane’s wheel defect arrived in Cuba this afternoon but could not indicate why the stranded Canadian passengers have not been informed.

Update 10:30 pm EST

The latest from Cuba…  and Cayo Coco…  CanJet says they are sending a new plane as they can’t fix the broken one…. the 200 passengers (all canadian) were finally given some food late tonight…  a sandwich..  first food in over 24 hours… my daughter says they aren’t getting much info as no one speaks english..  they can’t leave the airport terminal… authorities won’t let them…  they were taken to a hotel late last night..  a flea bag joint..  that had duct tape on the doors to close them and no locks…  and was apparently quite dirty…  then they were escorted back to airport terminal early Monday morning.. and they’ve been there ever since..  no food until the sandwich tonight ..  no clean clothes.. no showers… there are babies and no diapers and the tour operator Hola Sun has nobody there that speaks English..   Last update from CanJet was a plane would be there to load and depart at 2:00 am Tuesday morning…  that’s at least the third change in times reported…   there apparently had been one scheduled for 5:00 pm Monday..  then that didn’t happen.. another in mid evening and it was changed to a 1:00 am Tuesday departure.. now to 2:00 am..   but no new plane has yet arrived…. so the stranded passengers are not sure..  they are sure it continues to be a terrible experience…

Most of the passengers are from across Southwestern Ontario including a number from London and area, the Kitchener Waterloo Region, the GTA.. and four from Huron County…   Goderich and Clinton..
