Flights from Europe to Canada faced delays and cancellations Saturday as a computer problem slowed down flight planning. Ron Singer, spokesperson for NAV Canada, stressed there have been no safety issues or impact on air traffic control. The delays and cancellations mainly affected flights inbound from Europe, though some scheduled to leave Canada for Europe were also impacted. There was a “very little” upset to North American flights, Singer said, though he could not say how many flights in all were delayed or cancelled because of the computer problem. By Saturday afternoon the system had been partially restored, the agency said on its Twitter account.
