New constraints aim to tamp down traffic at peak times following a surge in demand over the spring and summer as well as the winter holidays that erupted in travel chaos last year
Toronto Pearson International Airport plans to cap the number of flights into and out of Canada's largest air hub in peak travel periods this year, with a view to "flatten out" daily crests at airports awash in passengers.
In preparation since last fall, the measures "strike a balance between airline requests and the capabilities of the entities across the entire airport ecosystem," spokeswoman Rachel Bertone said in an emailed statement. She pointed to strains on air navigation service Nav Canada as well as the U.S. and Canadian border agencies.
The move also comes as the country's biggest airline hopes to streamline the departures process through facial recognition technology.
