ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A St. John’s-based airline is investigating a data
breach it says may have exposed employees’ and customers’ personal
information.

to one email account containing information collected for the
company’s employee pass travel program.

Exposed data may include names, dates of birth and credit card information.

PAL Airlines says it will work with the Federal Privacy Commissioner
in its investigation.

The company is in the process of contacting affected customers.

It says more information will be made available as the investigation continues.
