Long lineups at Pearson as passengers say they’re waiting hours on parked planes or in crowded rooms without air conditioning
Travellers are sharing pictures and video on social media of long lineups at customs at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Some say they waited hours upon arrival, often in a crowded room full of hundreds of other travellers. “We may hold planes at the gate—or hold arriving passengers in designated areas of the airport—during peak times to reduce the number of passengers entering the customs-controlled area,” Smith said. Some claim that even members of the returning Canadian Olympic team were caught up in the delays.
