I see Air Transat is getting some good PR:

[quote]Passengers aboard an Air Transat flight bound for Montreal from Brussels found themselves stranded on their aircraft for six hours Monday night after it was diverted to Ottawa because of thunderstorms.

The flight was supposed to land at Trudeau airport Monday afternoon, but was diverted because of poor weather conditions created by a chain of heavy thunderstorms.

In an interview with Presse Canadienne, passenger Maryanne Zéhil said those onboard were prevented from leaving the aircraft for six hours after it landed. She said the aircraft became very hot and passengers had difficulty breathing.

[b]One of the passengers called 911[/b], at which point measures were taken to improve conditions, most notably the distribution of water to passengers who had been on the aircraft at that point for 15 hours.[/quote]
