Ottawa: A group of influencers who filmed themselves drinking, smoking and partying on a chartered flight from Canada to Mexico have earned the Internet’s ire amid rising cases of the Omicron variant.
After footage of the influencers went viral on social media, several airlines refused to fly them back from Cancun – and adding insult to injury, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau called them “idiots” in a press conference.
The clips show passengers without masks singing and dancing in the plane’s aisle and on their seats, with little regard for safety rules to be followed in light of the spread of Omicron.
Three airlines, including the one that chartered the flight, have refused to fly them back to Canada.
