Most incoming and outgoing flights from the Edmonton International Airport on Tuesday morning were delayed due to low-lying fog and “ongoing low visibility.”
Travellers were being asked to check their flight status online at flyeia.com and with their airline before heading out.
“Safety and security are our top priorities, and ongoing low visibility at YEG due to low-lying fog is affecting arriving and departing flights,” airport spokesperson Megan Hall told Global News at noon on Tuesday.
“We will continue to monitor the situation, work with our airline and aviation partners and resume flight activity as soon as it is safe to do so.”
According to the EIA’s website, as of 12:10 p.m., only about two of the 20 scheduled departures actually left from the airport on time — the rest were delayed. In terms of Tuesday morning’s arrivals, all 10 of the scheduled flights were either delayed or cancelled.
