Passengers with fake tickets ejected from Air Canada flight

Air Canada is investigating how five suspicious people with fake tickets got on board a Toronto-bound flight on Friday.

The airline confirmed that four Iranians and an Afghan were thrown off the flight in Caracas, Venezuela, causing a five-hour delay.

The five people reportedly had fake tickets and no visas to enter Canada.

The captain made the discovery when there were five extra passengers aboard the flight.
