 Alias: Jean-Pierre Charrette Date(s) of Birth Used July 7, 1943 Place of Birth Canada Hair Brown Eyes Blue Height 5'9" Weight 140 pounds Sex Male Race White Nationality Canadian NCIC W362585561  Date(s) of Birth Used January 21, 1947, January 23, 1947 Place of Birth Canada Hair Black Eyes Brown Height 5'8" Weight 150 pounds Sex Male Race White Nationality Canadian NCIC W362584864 Caution: Jean-Pierre Charette is wanted for his alleged involvement in the May 5, 1969, hijacking of National Airlines Flight 91 en route from LaGuardia Airport in New York to Miami, Florida. At the time, Charette and his accomplice, Alain Allard, were members of a French Canadian Separatist Movement and were fleeing Canada where they were both wanted on bombing charges. Both men booked seats on the flight under alias names. While the plane was over water, Charette, armed with a .38 revolver, allegedly forced a flight attendant at gunpoint to open the cockpit door. Allard, who was armed with a gun and a knife, remained in the First Class section of the plane. Charette then allegedly commanded the pilot to fly to Havana, Cuba. In 1979, Charette and Allard returned separately to Canada where they were both convicted on their previous bombing charges. The FBI continues to seek the extradition of both men to the United States to face charges for the hijacking. Federal arrest warrants were issued for both Charette and Allard in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, on May 4, 1983, after they were charged with conspiracy to commit air piracy and air piracy. www.fbi.gov/wanted/dt/jean-pierre-charettewww.fbi.gov/wanted/dt/alain-allardAny thoughts?

If you Google the names, there's a bunch of PDF files of court documents which show the U.S. trying to get Charette and Allard extradited back from Canada.
Usually we have a great relationship with Canada, but these two are natives which probably complicated efforts considering they're both still at large.

It depends on where the efforts are being handled from in Canada. If they’re in Quebec, then unfortunately it won’t be any good since they may hold them in high regard since they have a movement to separate Quebec from the rest of Canada. In the scenario that Quebec becomes independent, getting them back would be impossible. |

Yeah it seems it was Quebec based on what I'm reading. Charette and Allard had argued (apparently successfully) that their rights were violated because the U.S. waited five years to pursue them. U.S. tried to argue it was Canada's fault or something like that.

Keep in mind also that even both the U.S. court/justice system and the Canadian court/justice system is very different, certain punishments in the U.S. are considered very harsh or nonexistent in Canada. |

As of July 16th. 2018, Charrette and Allard are still listed on the FBI's website as two of their most wanted terrorists. (Sa.e link as in toptenhunter's OP).

Unfortunately they have both been removed from the FBI website in the last couple of years or so, but given it’s such a high profile case if they had been captured it would’ve been known however it’s safe to say they’re still at large as of July 28, 2020.
Also i don’t think we’ll get em back at all, Canada has them very well protected from any extradition, I mean they even had a news paper article titled “The Evolution of a Revolutionary” on Jean-Pierre Charette and how he returned to Canada from Cuba in 1979 to face the music on charges he faced for detonating bombs in Montreal in 1968.
I’m not dissing Canada nor am I giving guys like Allard and Charette a free pass, but cases like these where an individuals are in a country that won’t hand them over or there are circumstances one country won’t give someone up to another country has always fascinated me.... especially this case since it’s our northern neighbor and they’re last known to be in a province bordering the U.S.
Part of me always wonders if these 2 live in constant fear that they’ll be kidnapped out of Canada or live peacefully over there since they’re untouchable.

Not surprising they were removed considering the passage of time. It doesn't excuse any of their actions- but it was only hijacking charges they were want for and no one died right? It would make sense for the FBI to stop pursing a case like that as they have also technically given up and "closed" the case on D.B. Cooper.
