Patriots plane brings Sunwing vacationers back to Quebec

The stopover was short, only a few hours. Jean-Lesage International Airport in Quebec indicates that he came from Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, and that he left in the evening, around 9 p.m., heading for Saguenay-Bagotville airport.

This plane was chartered by the airline Sunwing, which has been accumulating flight delays and struggling to transport its passengers since winter storms have swept across North America in recent days.

In reality, the Patriots are equipped with two Boeing 767s. One being the main aircraft, the other serving as a backup in the event of a breakdown or problem on the first.

At the start of the pandemic, the device also carried out a rescue mission. Patriots owner Robert Kraft sent him to China to pick up a shipment of 1.2 million face masks and bring them back to the United States. All of this equipment was intended for healthcare professionals.
