TORONTO - Air Canada is confirming that the passengers stranded in Manchester for two days are now en route to Toronto.
The airline says it will be in touch with the affected customers for a full refund.
The flight to Toronto was scheduled to leave Friday, but Air Canada had said as many as 197 passengers would have to wait until Sunday before taking off.
In an email to The Canadian Press, Air Canada spokeswoman Isabelle Arthur says the airline apologizes for the extended delay and "we are sorry we've let our customers down."
Canada's largest airline was taking heat from the stranded passengers over the weekend.
One person tweeted: "horrendous experience. Stuck in Manchester for 2 days and no one has been in contact to tell us what's going on."
