Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says working groups that include airports, airlines, public health and federal officials are meeting up to three times a week to try and find solutions to the delays

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says the federal government is working on new measures to help ease delays at major airports, adding that a “similar phenomenon” is happening worldwide.

People travelling through Canadian airports have been experiencing long lines and flight delays as post-pandemic travel ramps up, particularly at Toronto Pearson airport. “Since the low point of the pandemic, travel is up 700 or 800 per cent, in that range,” Mendicino said Tuesday. “It’s also important to note that this phenomenon is happening at airports across the world,” Alghabra said. “I’m not saying this to say that there’s no responsibility here.”

Now that's funny - maybe tomorrow, your headline should be 'Junior is working on ways to control inflation'

Too little too late - it is out there avoid Canada's airports because of liberal's excessive measures.

Drop the mandates like the rest of the PLANET! After that start hiring more people for screening and support staff. There, i fixed it for you.

Cue launch of WEF digital ID to reduce backlogs

Perhaps the delays will just resolve themselves, just apply the LPC economic strategy to all problems....

3 vaccines for all.

They've been 'working on' 'growing the economy from the heart out' since 2015. How's that going?

they govern so bad. drop arrivecan

New Measures from Trudeau!!! Can we expect another tax?

There shouldn't be any measures at all these liberals are so stoopid they can't even u der stand this. They are working hard to affect people's mental health

Garbage ministers

The only thing they seem to be working on is using excuses not to drop mandates

Bull shat, he's been to busy training new wef liberal voters

Bull shat...he's been to bust recruiting new liberal voters

Drop the stupid mandates; they do not work anymore; an abject failure nothing short of it

What measures? I feel like you don’t ask the obvious question of troll

Lessons for travelers? Maybe a YouTube video so they can practice traveling at home?

New measures? Give me a freaking break, and all Canadians by dropping the vax mandate like the rest of the sane world.

Find the cause of the delays, who responsible for it and and fix it. But don’t tell me ArriveCAN and vaccines mandate are the cause, cause that’s pure bs

Yeah putting the price of living threw the roof , should most definitely fix it 👏.

Just drop the FKn Mandates!

Rather late to the game...

Nice. It's a shame so many people felt oppressed. Lol.

Thanks fir the fake news Globeandmail

They can shut the country down in 5 min. flat, pull all the kids from school, not let anyone into hospitals but how long does it take to remove senseless, illogical rules? No more mandates, no more testing. Wear a mask if you like. Get on with it!

I wonder if JT was subjected to the battery of delaying hassles he has chosen to subject every Canadian needing to fly, as he departed for his latest holiday in Barbados, sorry, Summit of the Americas? I am sure he flew on his hummingbird propulsion plane to set a green example.

Maybe try re hiring all the unvaccinated staff you fired

Stop the needless mandates, they created this mess I’m the first place. That would be a start

This is what we get when we elect incompetence. Typical reply from the government.

Typical Fed f up. Create political mandates that are proven failure, then shuffle about to please dopey Liberal supporters

Him resigning would be a great start.

and I bet it is going to require an entirely new ministry filled to the rafters with sunshine lister govt hacks

Don’t rush, whatever you do 🤦‍♂️

“It’s also important to note that this phenomenon is happening at airports across the world,” Flightaware, that tracks these kind of things, shows delays in Europe and North America today. At the TOP of the list is Toronto Pearson with the longest delays of any major airport.

Nothing to work on, just get out of the way.

They are also 'Working On' balancing the budget. How is that working out?

1st world problem ..no one in Canada can afford to fly is what I hear. They having hard time making ends meet ..how can they fly?

Caught up in Canada's drug deal... poor bastards. 🤣🤣🤣

With all due respect, this man is not the person for this job. It's a fairly simple fix... remove all mandates (they are completely pointless) and get everybody back to work... airports were mostly fine pre-pandemic... let's get back to that.

Haha - when he's not tweeting about donuts? Who owns that donut shop anyway, and what is his connection to it?

Which don’t include ending mandates. That’s weird.
