OTTAWA — Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says the federal government is working on new measures to help ease delays at major airports, adding that a"similar phenomenon" is happening worldwide.
People travelling through Canadian airports have been experiencing long lines and flight delays as post-pandemic travel ramps up, particularly at Toronto Pearson airport. "Since the low point of the pandemic, travel is up 700 or 800 per cent, in that range," Mendicino said Tuesday. "It's also important to note that this phenomenon is happening at airports across the world," Alghabra said."I'm not saying this to say that there's no responsibility here."
