Ten Air Canada passengers left the Ottawa airport without clearing customs Sunday night, after arriving on an international flight from Cancun, Mexico. When Air Canada Flight 1413 landed at the airport around 8 p.m., "customers were inadvertently misdirected when leaving the aircraft" through a swing gate used for both international and domestic flights, the airline said. Air Canada said 192 passengers were aboard the flight. While most of the 192 passengers aboard the flight were redirected to customs, 10 left the airport without being processed, Air Canada said. In a statement Saturday, CBSA confirmed 10 passengers left the airport without clearing customs.
