It looked like things might be improving at Canadian airports, but Sunday was not at all good.
A glance at Flight Aware stats shows Toronto Pearson on Sunday (July 31) had 25 cancelled outbound flights (4%) and 238 delays (40%). Last week’s stats were generally around 38% or 39% delays for outbound Pearson flights.
It was pretty much the same on Sunday at Montreal Trudeau, which had eight cancellations (2%) but 119 delays (40%).
In Calgary, seven outbound flights were cancelled (2%) and 96 delayed (33%). For Edmonton, there were five cancellations (3%) and 36 delays (25%).
Toronto Pearson has borne the brunt of criticism from frustrated flyers, but it’s clearly not the only airport with problems these days. Lisbon on Sunday reported a 54% outbound flight delay rate, while Los Angeles International was at 30% and New York LaGuardia at 28%.
