Saturday’s snowstorm caused several headaches for travelers at airports in the northeastern United States and in Toronto, where the City’s terminal building was partially closed. On Sunday, several flights were delayed or canceled at Montréal-Trudeau due to weather conditions the day before.
“We were supposed to leave at 8 a.m., but it was delayed until 4:15 p.m., and we weren’t notified. They messaged us saying the flight was delayed for an hour and then another for another hour. We arrived at 5:30 a.m. here.”
“When we arrived we said we thought our flight was delayed. The lady automatically told us to come to the counter to give us discounts for lunch and dinner.”
The delays and cancellations are similar to previous years, according to Dominic Daoust, an airline pilot.
“There are pretty typical days. It is certain that we had a difficult winter, that is to say, the big peaks whether it was the holiday season or the spring break, there were weather systems that swept the same corridors”, he points out.
At Montréal-Trudeau, efforts are being made to make the facilities as accessible as possible in the event of flight cancellations.
