After three days of delays at Vancouver International Airport, normal operations have resumed and flights, both incoming and outgoing, are running as usual.
Dozens of flights were delayed and cancelled at YVR due to shortages of Nav Canada resources and staffing, including air traffic controllers, with the issues starting at 3 p.m. on Monday.
That caused flights in and out of Fort St. John’s North Peace Region Airport to be delayed due to the issues in Vancouver.
Three Air Canada and one WestJet flight were delayed from Vancouver Wednesday morning. Air Canada flight #8368 from Fort St. John to Vancouver was also cancelled.
In a statement on Wednesday, Nav Canada said a temporary traffic management initiative was in place to “maintain a safe flow of traffic” and ensure the “quantity of aircraft in a given airspace or airport remains manageable.”
By Thursday, the airport confirmed the issues had been resolved.
Travellers are still being advised to check the status of their flight through the airport’s website or with the airline.
