☆ Snowstorm halts flights at Canada's second busiest airport in Vancouver
  + stars: | 2022-12-20 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
OTTAWA, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Heavy snowfall and low visibility from a strong winter storm blanketing Pacific Canada forced the country's second busiest airport in Vancouver to halt all flights on Tuesday morning, with disruptions expected to continue ahead of the Christmas weekend. The Vancouver International Airport said the storm has had "an unprecedented impact on flights" and caused mass cancellations overnight. Crews were clearing the airfield and aircraft of snow and ice to get planes and people moving again, the Vancouver airport said. The Vancouver region was experiencing a "significant winter storm" that is expected to bring more snow in the morning before the weather clears out by noon, Environment Canada meteorologist Ross MacDonald said. It will likely lead to flight delays and impassable roadways during one of the busiest travel periods of the year, the National Weather Service warned.
