VANCOUVER – Five people managed to board a Toronto-bound Air Canada flight from Venezuela using fake tickets.

The crew of Flight AC075 found five extra passengers on board the plane before it was set to take off from the Simon Bolivar International Airport, outside Caracas, at 7:15 a.m. on Friday.

The five illegitimate passengers included four Iranians and one Afghan, none of whom had a visa to enter Canada.

According to the statement on the airport’s website, authorities detained four people — including an Air Canada employee, two private airport security agents and an immigration officer — on human trafficking-related charges.



Sounds like there are some corruption issues with government officials at Maiquetia. Better get on that Nicolas.
