A suspicious package temporarily reduced air traffic at Montreal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport on Wednesday, but operations have now returned to normal. At 3:30 p.m., the number of flights into the airport was reduced due to a "package of interest" on board an aircraft that landed in Montreal. A spokesperson for Transport Canada said the agency was "aware of the occurrence involving Air Canada," but provided no further details. "Transport Canada officials are in contact with local authorities and the carrier." The ground stop means those flights will not take off.
