Major Airports Report Morning Delays
WestJet flights across Canada faced delays early this morning after a network-wide technical glitch disrupted schedules. Passengers at Ottawa, Toronto Pearson, Saskatoon, Montréal–Trudeau, and Calgary International airports were advised of the issue, which temporarily affected flight operations nationwide.
The Cause Behind the Disruption
According to WestJet, the delays were caused by a temporary system outage that stalled the handover of aircraft from maintenance crews to flight operations. This unexpected halt rippled through schedules, prompting immediate troubleshooting by the airline’s technical teams.
Swift Response to Restore Service
The airline stated it “expedited efforts to resolve the technological issue,” ensuring that systems were quickly restored. By late morning, Toronto and Montréal airports confirmed that the outage had been resolved, though passengers were urged to monitor flight updates.
Apologies and Next Steps
WestJet extended its apologies to travellers impacted by the disruption, acknowledging the inconvenience caused to morning schedules. With most operations now back on track, the airline is working to prevent similar incidents in the future.
