Weather prompts cancellations and delays at Calgary International Airport

A WestJet aircraft undergoes deicing at the Calgary International Airport

Airline passengers are encouraged to check the status of their flight before making their way to the airport as wintry weather is having an impact on travel.

As of 10:30 a.m. Saturday, three departing flights have been cancelled and eleven flights scheduled to arrive at YYC were cancelled (10 domestic flights and one flight arriving from Palm Springs).

On Friday evening, a WestJet flight scheduled to depart for Vancouver, and carrying a number of Grey Cup bound football fans, did not takeoff after the Calgary International Airport ran out of a deicing agent. WestJet has arranged for a rescue flight to transport the passengers to the west coast on Saturday afternoon, well before Sunday’s scheduled 3:00 p.m. PT kickoff.
