The official statement from the airline read;
So it looks like Primera Air has gone bankrupt, which means my eldest daughter and her new husband are stuck in Paris trying to get home to Toronto from their honeymoon. Anyone know if @AirCanada or anyone else is doing anything to help stranded passengers?

@British_Airways I am Cabin Crew for Primera Air and they’ve left us stranded in Toronto. If I go to the desk with my ID will anybody be able to help? I just wanna go home! ðŸ˜

Passengers who are looking to obtain a refund for unused tickets “will need to contact the company directly” — but as I highlighted earlier, for now…this remains impossible. https://t.co/Xc9mrPi9lu
