Snow has been falling all morning at Pearson, with officials warning that accumulation is affecting “some flights” as travellers begin their journeys. The forecast calls for 8 to 10 cm of snow today (10DEC).
This morning, 878 flights are scheduled, carrying more than 111,000 passengers. Delays have already been reported.
"Our crews have been out all night clearing snow from the runways, taxiways and aprons, and they’ll be working throughout the day to stay ahead of the snowfall," YYZ said in an early morning post on X. "A traffic management initiative is in place to help regulate the flow of departing aircraft. This may affect some flights as we prioritize safe, steady movement across the airfield."
According to Cirium’s FlightStats Global Flight Tracker, delays at YYZ are currently “significant,” though decreasing as of now.
Montreal is expecting a similar amount of snowfall today, with FlightStats reporting delays there as “moderate” and also decreasing.
