At that time, about 20 to 30 other aircraft had already been diverted to Ottawa's airport, Air Transat said. "In total, both aircraft held on the runway with no ground support whatsoever for approximately 90 minutes," said Air Transat. Soon afterwards, one passenger called 911, Air Transat said. It wasn't until six hours after it landed that 157 was able to go "wheels up," Air Transat said. (Giacomo Panico/CBC)"At no time did the Air Transat crew or its ground handler request fuelling assistance or a gate from the airport authority."
