“Just a disaster:” Major delays, cancellations at Vancouver airport after closure of north runway

From Global News.

Major delays are expected to continue at Vancouver International Airport with one of 2 runways out of commission.

The airport said it was “operating with some reductions in capacity” on Friday, due to an “unforeseen equipment issue” with overnight paving work on its north runway.

The north runway typically handles 400 flights daily, and by mid-afternoon more than 150 flights were delayed and 25 flights cancelled.

The runway is expected to be closed until Saturday morning.

Global’s Troy Charles has more on how it impacted flights all over the world.
