Air Traveller challenges today as snow once again reduces operations in Vancouver


For many air travellers today, the challenge for this Tuesday is going to be waiting to see if your flight makes its way to a Northwest airport. 

Or if the day's schedule is one of cancellation after cancellation.

So far the delays and cancellations are wining out, with Vancouver International Airport once again digging out from a winter storm and as a result the departure board from YVR is making for disappointment for many travellers.


As of 10:30 AM  today the listings have noted the following.

8:20 AM -- Air Canada 8437 to Terrace  -- Cancelled
8:20 AM -- WestJet WS3105 to Terrace --  -- Delayed to 10:30 AM
1:05 PM -- Air Canada 8459 to Smithers  -- Cancelled 
1:10 PM  -- Air Canada 8441 to Terrace -- Cancelled



So far for travellers out of Prince Rupert's Digby Island airport the news is positive, with the 1PM departure from Vancouver still noted as on time.


That's good news for air travellers who were travelling on the weekend and found flights cancelled and diverted during that period, a few of whom were making note of the situation through the YPR social media feed.

No explanations have been noted on the YPR stream as of yet, towards how the travel situation of the weekend evolved for Prince Rupert travellers.

As for the rest of the travel day in the Northwest today.

Terrace has two more flights scheduled for today a WestJet flight from Vancouver at 4:40 PM and an Air Canada flight scheduled for departure at 4:55PM from Vancouver.

Both are listed as on Time.

The YVR Departures and Arrivals listings can be accessed through main home page of the YVR website.
