More than 100 Canadian travellers spent three days shuffling around between resorts and the airport.

Passengers say they received zero communication from their airline.

Air passenger rights advocate says federal government is failing to hold airlines accountable in cases like this and enforce the law.

Air Passenger Rights president Gábor Lukács says WestJet has been systematically refusing to rebook passengers on competitor airlines.

Global News reached out to WestJet and the Canadian Transportation Agency for interviews about the situation.

WestJet said it would issue a written statement instead of answering questions.

WS4222 from Tulum to Calgary was delayed again on Monday afternoon , but took off after about 45 minutes .
