Some flights at Toronto Pearson International Airport are temporarily grounded today due to dense fog in the area that’s causing low visibility for pilots.
The airport says in a social media post that full operations are expected to resume throughout the day as conditions improve.
It says on foggy days like today, Nav Canada regularly assess visibility and adjusts hourly arrival rates to maintain safe operations.
Several domestic and international flights departing from Pearson and arriving at the airport were listed as delayed on the airport’s website as of noon.
Evening flights are on schedule.
Environment Canada says in a fog advisory for the Mississauga area – where the airport is located – that near zero visibility may improve after rain passes through in the afternoon and evening, but could deteriorate again after the rain stops tonight.
