The U.S. departure shutdown reached well beyond American terminals. At Toronto Pearson, flights in both directions were affected, CP24 reports, leaving passengers waiting for airline updates.
In its Friday breaking-news bulletin, CP24 relayed the Federal Aviation Administration's explanation: communication issues affecting air route traffic control centers had prompted a nationwide halt to departures. The anchors said Pearson had no scheduled U.S. arrivals or departures at the time of the report, and advised travelers to check directly with their airlines before heading to the airport.
The Canadian disruption was not confined to Toronto. CP24's subsequent evening coverage said airports in Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver had also confirmed effects on flights to and from the United States.
The brief bulletin drew about 92,000 views since yesterday. CP24 followed it with coverage of canceled U.S.-bound flights at Pearson and passengers still waiting to learn what would happen to their journeys.
