Toronto Pearson Airport officials say they’ve added extra crews for the coming snow storm, but they warn that some delays and cancellations could still occur.
“Safety is always our top priority for both passengers and our staff working in this weather, and we’ve been preparing for this latest snowfall since Monday,” Pearson/GTAA spokesperson Tori Gass said in an email this morning. “We’re monitoring the forecasts very closely and extra crews have been brought in to help with snow clearing.
“We’re also working closely with our airline partners to help ensure there is as little impact to flights as possible. Saying that, we do expect to see some delays and cancellations as a result of this storm, as well as snow that is affecting areas in the U.S., where many flights have been proactively cancelled.”
Flight Aware reports dozens of cancellations at some major U.S. airports today, including St. Louis and Kansas City. Roughly 20% of flights also have been cancelled at Chicago O’Hare and Detroit Wayne airports.
“Our advice for travellers — or for friends and family picking them up from Pearson — is to check our website or consult with the airline prior to leaving for the airport for the most up-to-date information on their flight status,” Gass said.
