Woman passenger wakes up to find herself forgotten on empty Air Canada plane

A woman passenger of Air Canada has said she was left alone on a cold and dark plane after falling asleep during a domestic flight and forgotten by the ground staff, forcing the flag carrier to investigate the incident.

Tiffani Adams said she fell asleep while flying from Quebec to Toronto on June 9. When she woke up, she was freezing cold and still buckled into her seat, but the aircraft was parked after the 90-minute flight.Adams’s terrifying experience was posted by a friend Deanna Noel-Dale on Air Canada’s Facebook page, drawing over 600 reactions.

“Anyway the guy had the ladder dock and I jumped to safety before he was even a foot from the door,” Toronto Sun quoted her as saying.“I haven’t got much sleep since the reoccurring night terrors and waking up anxious and afraid I’m alone locked up someplace dark,” Adams says.

Adams said on Facebook that she woke up around midnight amidst freezing cold still trapped in her seat in complete darkness, a few hours after the flight landed at the Pearson Airport.

Adams managed to call her friend Noel-Dale to let her know where she was when her phone died less than a minute into the call.Noel-Dale called airport authorities in Toronto and told them of Adams’ whereabouts.While she was on board, Adams managed to locate a torch in the cockpit and attempted to attract attention.

She said that Air Canada staff offered her a limousine and a hotel but she declined, wanting to return home as quickly as possible.
