Canadian Forces to help Air India passengers stranded in Iqaluit after emergency landing: Sajjan
IQALUIT, Nunavut — Canada’s emergency preparedness minister says the passengers of an Air India flight that landed in Iqaluit due to a bomb threat remain stuck there, and he has approved a request for the military to help them.
Harjit Sajjan posted on X late Tuesday that the airline “hasn’t found a solution” after the plane landed in Nunavut’s capital with 211 passengers on board earlier in the day and that they are “stranded.”
He says in the post that despite great efforts, Iqaluit is not equipped to house the passengers, and that after consulting with Transport Minister Anita Anand, he has given the green light for Canadian Forces resources to “ease the pressure on Iqaluit and send passengers safely to their destination in Chicago.”

Basically the Canadian Air Force dispatched an aircraft to pick them up and transport them to Chicago (their final destination).
I do hope the Canadian government send the bill to Air Canada.
