Staff Shortages Affecting Canadian Airport Control Towers
Air traffic controller shortages in Canada are periodically forcing the closure of airport towers at Kelowna and Winnipeg airports.
According to a memo to Air Canada pilots, when the single controller on duty takes a break, the towers are forced to close due to insufficient staffing.
- Kelowna airport, located in British Columbia
- Winnipeg airport, located in Manitoba
Air Canada advised its pilots to avoid the two airports when staffing shortages are severe enough to shut their air traffic control towers.
The frequency of these closures is unclear, and airport representatives have not responded to requests for comment.
