Flights delayed after Kelowna, B.C., airport hacked with pro-Hamas messages
October 15, 2025
The airport in Kelowna, B.C., says some flights were delayed after its terminal information screens and public address system were hacked, with social media posts showing pro-Hamas messages on the displays.
The posts show screens at Kelowna International Airport saying “Israel lost the war, Hamas won,” and calling U.S. President Donald Trump a pig.
Other videos depict slogans being played over the Kelowna airport’s public announcement system, and also at the Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania.
