The measures include hourly limits on commercial and business flights, and caps on international passengers
, said Rachel Bertone, a spokeswoman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. She declined to provide details.
Pearson has been limiting flights to and from the United States in recent months in response to staffing levels at the government agencies, she said. Other steps include the installation of technology that monitors gates and alerts ground crews when required, increased testing and training on the luggage system, and more spare parts on hand for the baggage mechanisms, to avoid downtime because of breakage.
He said the announcement, made less than two weeks before March break, comes late for airline schedulers, and could lead to flight cancellations. The impact on travellers will depend on the size of the limits, he said.
