An Edinburgh passenger has been left stranded for three days despite forking out over £2000 on three separate tickets to Canada in a desperate attempt to visit his sister in hospital.
Iyare Ehis has been stuck in Edinburgh since Monday, locked in a fierce dispute with Air Canada, who he says have treated him “awfully”. The 51-year-old has been unable to board a flight across the Atlantic, even though he has paid eye-watering sums of money on three occasions.
On Monday, he says he was refused boarding for his initial flight as he did not have the necessary paperwork to allow him to stop for transit in Washington, as the type of visa passengers need to enter America and Canada are different.
