Global News
It is not yet clear what the numbers will be capped at or how it will affect individual airlines and passengers, including those with tickets already booked.
Toronto Pearson International Airport is set to limit the number of flights that can land and takeoff at peak travel times in an effort to improve delays.
In a statement sent to Global News, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), which operates Pearson, said the move was part of a series of measures ahead of the March break and summer travel season.
“These include hard limits on the number of commercial flights that can arrive or depart in any given hour along with limits on business/general aviation flights,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
“In addition, measures have been applied to cap the number of passengers that can arrive internationally, or depart to the United States through each terminal, in a given hour,” the statement said.
It is not yet clear what the numbers will be capped at or how it will affect individual airlines and passengers, including those with tickets already booked.
GTAA also said it has brought in an outside firm to do a “baggage system health check.” The check will include interviews and onsite assessment and is slated to be completed by this spring.
The change comes after a difficult year for the airport, with a series of issues around delays, cancellations and luggage.
