“What’s actually in the booking system and the flight manifests don’t always line up and don’t always provide us with useful information,” said Henry.

“What shows up on the flight manifest is a name, but not always how we can get in touch with them quickly.”

Henry said she’s raised her concerns with the federal ministry of transportation.
