Canada’s federal transport minister says he’s pressuring the corporation that oversees the country’s air traffic controllers to find solutions to staffing woes affecting passenger flights.
“I am having regular conversations with the CEO of Nav Canada, including one this week to keep asking him for an update on the status of their staffing operations” said Omar Alghabra.
Nav Canada, the corporation that oversees Canada’s air traffic controllers, admits some summer flight delays have been caused by personnel shortages.
“We do certainly acknowledge the fact that we have had some staffing-related challenges,” said Marie-Pier Berman, Nav Canada’s vice-president and chief of operations.
