Anyone planning to catch a flight or pick someone up from the airport between Friday and Sunday this week may have to deal with increased traffic because of the annual Black Friday sale at the nearby McArthurGlen shopping outlet.

According to the Vancouver International Airport, RCMP and traffic management personnel will be in the area to direct drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Anyone planning to go to the airport or the shopping outlet should consider taking the Canada Line, the airport says.
