The Story
Montreal Trudeau International Airport says all flights to and from the United States are suspended.
In a statement posted on its website, the airport says the suspension is due to a countrywide technology issue in the United States.
The airport says passengers should check flight status directly with their airlines, adding that delays and cancellations are expected.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration grounded all flights countrywide on Friday afternoon because of communications problems at regional air traffic control centres, according to an FAA notice.
The FAA notice says the ground stop was imposed “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.”
The Montreal airport says all of its teams are monitoring the situation.
