YVR says traffic at pre-COVID levels

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Jan, 2024 10:45 AM
  • YVR says traffic at pre-COVID levels

Vancouver International Airport says traffic forecasts for mid-January show passenger numbers have almost completely recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

Y-V-R says it is expecting just over 420-thousand passengers from January 15th to the 21st, just short of the 2019 figure of almost 426-thousand.

The airport says daily passenger counts this week will reach more than 60-thousand, with Monday and Sunday expected to be the busiest days.

Y-V-R says it is seeing a number of delays and cancellations due to severe winter conditions affecting airports across Canada, and passengers should be aware of their flight status before going to the airport.
