Air Canada asks pilots to avoid Kelowna, Winnipeg airports during severe air-traffic-control shortages

October 24, 2025

A shortfall of air-traffic controllers in Canada is at times forcing airport towers at Kelowna and Winnipeg airports to close when the one controller on duty goes on a break, according to a memo to Air Canada pilots seen by Reuters.

Air Canada advised its pilots to avoid the two airports in the provinces of British Columbia and Manitoba when staffing shortages are severe enough to shut their air-traffic control towers, the Oct. 14 memo said.

Canadians are talking a lot these days about building housing. But what will that housing look like? The country lacks specific visions for the apartments, blocks and cities of tomorrow. A recent publication by the Neptis Foundation, Impossible Toronto: On the Courtyard, answers that need. Led by Studio VAARO and Gabriel Fain Architects, this is not a vague aspiration; it is a specific, provocative proposal for how Toronto might evolve. The project aims to imagine a city that is currently impossible, and articulates the regulatory reasons that make it so.
