Operations at six major Canadian airports gradually returned to normal on Thursday after a series of bomb threats disrupted air traffic and halted flights.
Airports in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa and Montreal were affected after anonymous threats were made today, warning of explosives allegedly planted in airport control towers. Authorities initiated immediate precautionary measures, grounding flights and launching coordinated investigations across the affected sites.
NAV Canada confirmed that normal operations resumed later today without providing specific details about the nature of the threats.
No explosives were found. Despite the quick resolution, the incident caused significant travel delays, with many passengers experiencing cancellations, missed connections and rebookings.
Authorities continue to investigate the source of the calls and any potential links between them.
