U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration will cease requiring COVID-19 tests before flights for all air travellers flying to the U.S. on June 12 at 12:01. a.m, The Wall Street Journal“This is very welcome news and I think it speaks to a growing global consensus to lift testing mandates for travel,” Monette Pasher, interim president at Canadian Airports Council, said. “Canada no longer needs to be checking and vetting travellers on arrival into our country at our airports.
Despite the change, airports and airlines continue to deal with massive passenger bottlenecks and service disruptions due to overwhelming demand. Pasher said random mandatory testing only increases delays. Add on severe labour shortages for security and border control checkpoints, and the situation has festered.
At Toronto Pearson International Airport, Air Canada cancelled nine per cent of its scheduled flights between June 1 and 9, the Canadian Press reported.Article content “For example, if an aircraft is held at a gate longer than expected or a flight is suddenly forced to cancel, that can affect the schedules of crews and the ground staff servicing the aircraft, disrupting subsequent flights.”

AnnCavoukian And those who refused the experimental mRNA, like my family of 5, are still being held hostage in the largest prison on earth. TrudeauMustGo
So the people who created massive layoffs that y’all reported on now are feeling the resource crunch but you’ve chosen to blame the feds? Help me understand that this isn’t gaslighting.
Acting scared of the flu/cold is a luxury only the wealthy can afford now. End the mandates.
I agree.
never seen a gov more terrified of freedom
you know its getting bad when eve the liberal party is getting tired of their drama teachers stupidity.
Airlines selling all the seats in the middle of a pandemic without coordinating with government about staffing levels, then whining about bottlenecks, is a failure at the boardroom level. But the CEOs will collect their bonuses and everyone will blame Trudeau. Rinse and repeat.
Amid inflation and rising costs; how is there a massive bottleneck at airports? who has the money for 'travel'; or are these morons borrowing money to live large and making minimum payments on their credit cards?
The science is different in Canada. All science is political science.
Monkey pox is here, more boosters please. 🐍🐍🐍
Canada seems to be the only Country left with these draconian useless travel requirements.
