Air Canada (AC_A.TO) said along with Air Canada Jazz it is advising customers travelling to and from Atlantic Canada to check on the status of their flights before departing for the airport, as a result of heavy snowfall and winter storm warnings issued by Environment Canada for the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI.
It is anticipated that based on the information from the most recent Environment Canada weather forecasts that flights to and from the Maritime provinces will experience delays and cancellations throughout the day on Saturday and into the overnight hours on Sunday morning.
In addition to the potential for delays and cancellations, heavy snowfall may also result in contaminated runway conditions which could restrict the amount of baggage aircraft may accommodate. In the event certain flights experience such limitations, Air Canada and Jazz will work to expedite baggage delivery for affected customers on the first available flights following the end of the weather event.
