Busy day at Canadian airports as airlines scramble to recover from U.S. flight stop
Canada's largest airline, Porter Airlines, expects schedules to return to normal over the weekend following a temporary grounding of flights in the United States on Friday. The airline informs affected passengers that their bookings have been rebooked on the next available flight. If the new bookings do not meet passengers' scheduling needs, refunds will be provided.
Toronto Pearson International Airport has enlisted additional staff in anticipation of a busy day on Saturday. Some flights remain cancelled or delayed, and travellers are advised to check with their carrier before heading to the airport. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration imposed a ground stop order for over four hours on Friday due to communication issues affecting air traffic control centers.
