Tlicho leaders say there needs to be clampdown on the abuse of charter flight services shown by some people in their communities.

The comments were made after some people who were flown from outlying communities to Behchoko on Friday for new Grand Chief George Mackenzie’s swearing-in ceremony decided to ditch the event.

“This is not the first time that people have done that. Some continue on to Yellowknife for whatever reasons,” said Mackenzie, who chosen as Grand Chief for the Tlicho government on Sept. 11.
