A special Air Canada flight has landed in Montreal, bringing 444 Canadians home from Morocco as borders shut down around the world amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The airline announced on Friday that it would fly an aircraft with 450 seats out of Casablanca to Montreal. Global Affairs Canada is expected to coordinate local arrangements for the Canadians to return home, where they will then have to self-isolate for 14 days.
Any Canadians on the flight also underwent a health screening prior to boarding. The first of our special flights to bring Canadians home has departed from Casablanca to Montreal on flight #AC2003, carrying 444 Canadians and an incredible crew.
