Flight delays at YVR due to air traffic controller shortage
bonusVancouver International Airport (YVR) has faced several waves of flight delays due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. In mid-April, a temporary Traffic Management Initiative was put in place by Nav Canada after unplanned staff absences affected operations. Between May 21 and 23, more delays occurred as controller shortages continued, and passengers were advised to check directly with airlines for updates. An Air Canada pilot blamed a nearly one-hour delay on a YVR-to-Montreal flight on staffing shortages at the control tower and urged passengers to contact their Members of Parliament.
