Air Canada delayed or cancelled nearly 2,000 flights over the Canada Day long weekend in what one expert said could be a taste of more troubles ahead for passengers.
They also mark an uptick from the previous weekend, despite an unplanned shortage of air traffic controllers at Nav Canada that snarled the travel plans of thousands during that period. “Stranded bags and delayed flights and huge lineup for taxis. Makes the experience at Pearson in Toronto last week feel like a picnic.”
Bloated flight schedules and fewer spare planes play a role in travel turmoil, said John Gradek, who teaches at McGill University’s aviation management program, adding that disruption figures are trending upward.
