‘We’re in a much better place.’ Minister says Canadian airport chaos of last summer (likely) won’t be repeated

But federal transportation minister Omar Alghabra says this summer likely won’t see a repeat of the chaos that plagued Canadian airports last year. “I’m confident that we are not going to see the same level of disruptions that we saw last summer. For another, airport authorities across the country are doing a better job of spreading their flight schedules throughout the day, Alghabra said. At Pearson, the number of flights per hour is being capped at 75, down from 90 last summer. Everyone, said Alghabra, has a vested interest in making sure there’s no repeat of last summer.
