Staff Shortages Affecting Canadian Airport Control Towers
Air traffic controller shortages in Canada are causing periodic closures of airport towers at Kelowna and Winnipeg airports, according to a memo to Air Canada pilots.
The memo, seen by Reuters, states that when the single controller on duty takes a break, the tower is forced to close due to insufficient staffing.
