“We do not know when NAV CANADA’s resource constraints will be addressed,” YVR said in a statement on its website.

“Passengers may experience changes to their flights as a result of NAV CANADA’s resource constraints. Changes include delays and cancellations, which may affect connecting flights.

“We recognize the inconvenience that can be caused by changes to flight schedules,” it added.

According to the airport’s arrivals and departures information available online, dozens of flights have been delayed on Wednesday.

“Passengers are encouraged to check latest flight status directly with their airline and must contact their airline for rebooking options,” the airport added.

In a statement posted to social media, NAV CANADA Operations says its moving aircraft “safely, and as quickly as possible.”
