Canada’s largest airport authority said Monday it will place a “hard limit” on the number of commercial flights permitted to arrive or depart from Toronto Pearson Airport during upcoming peak travel times.
In a statement issued to CTV News Toronto Monday, the Greater Toronto Airport Authority said that during March break and the upcoming summer season, it's taking “decisive measures” to flatten peak-hour schedules. These measures include limiting the number of commercial flights that can arrive or depart in any given hour and capping the number of passengers that can arrive internationally or depart to the U.S. through each terminal in any given hour.
Six months later, in December, the airport once again came under fire after a “baggage backlog” caused by weather-related flight disruptions as well as frozen loading equipment saw hundreds of travellers separated from their luggage. Images from Pearson airport in December showed hundreds of bags piled up after a major winter storm caused days of flight delays and cancellations.
In addition to limiting the number of flights in and out of the Toronto area, the GTAA said it's contracted an outside firm to do “a baggage system health check” and is looking to increase its storage of baggage parts to avoid reliance on the global supply chain.
