"In an emailed statement, NAV Canada explained that it implemented a Traffic Management Initiative, which it said was required to manage demand safely in light of staffing availability and increased traffic this weekend. The website for Pearson showed most arrivals at the airport were expected to be delayed until close to midnight on Saturday, and while most departures also appeared delayed earlier in the evening, planes seemed to be taking off on time after 8 p.m. local time."
""We know delays are frustrating and we regret the impact on travellers, airlines and airports," NAV Canada said in its statement. "We expect traffic levels to gradually return to normal tonight, though we recognize that some travellers will continue to experience delays as we work through the backlog." The email said NAV Canada is building capacity by recruiting and training workers across Canada."
NAV Canada reported resource constraints Saturday that delayed flights at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The provider implemented a Traffic Management Initiative to safely manage demand amid limited staffing and increased weekend traffic. Passengers were advised to check flight status with airlines. Air Canada reported that NAV Canada issues caused delays and cancellations across its network. Airport data showed most arrivals expected to be delayed until close to midnight, while departures began taking off on time after about 8 p.m. NAV Canada expressed regret for the impact and said it is recruiting and training staff nationwide.
