One plane was a Princess excursion operated by Taquan Air, one was a private charter through Mountain Air Service, but all the passengers were from Royal Princess. Reports from the ship are that Princess disembarked crew members to stay behind and help those affected by this and are offering counseling onboard the ship for anyone that needs it. Also, they are allowing anyone to cancel flightseeing excursions in other ports for full refunds.

Years ago, my friend was in one of these planes, flying into a remote fishing site. Plane came very close to crashing. No way I’d take one of these until I’m like 95 years old.
