Permission to take off has returned. For passengers waiting at Toronto Pearson, their travel plans may take longer to recover.
CP24 reports that U.S.-bound flights can resume after the Federal Aviation Administration lifted its nationwide ground stop, imposed because of communication problems. But Canadian airports and airlines are warning of continued disruption through the weekend.
As we reported here, passengers at Pearson were caught in the shutdown. This follow-up moves the story into recovery: Natalie van Rooy reports from the terminal on dozens of cancellations and travelers stranded after boarding, including a couple heading to Miami to catch a cruise.
Pearson spokesperson Erica Vella says the airport is working with airlines to move into recovery mode. The disruption extends beyond Canada's largest airport, with van Rooy also reporting cancellations at Billy Bishop.
The report, uploaded today, has drawn about 200,000 views in its first eleven hours. Its practical question is no longer whether departures are allowed, but how quickly disrupted journeys can restart.
At a White House briefing included in the report, the U.S. transportation secretary cautions: "But it's going to take us some time to unwind what's happened this afternoon." CP24 closes with statements from NAV Canada, Air Canada and Porter Airlines warning travelers that disruptions are not yet over.
