Earlier in the day, Toronto Pearson posted a photo of their airfield.
“As the clean up continues from this weekend’s storm. Our crews worked all weekend to keep the roughly 5 million square metres of airfield clear of snow to keep planes arriving and departing safely,” the airport posted on X.
“The snow has stopped coming down, but frigid temperatures and high winds are moving in. Today, we’re expecting a busy day in our terminals with over 130,000 travellers on board around 1,000 flights. Airlines are catching up after this weekend’s snowstorm that dumped over 22 cm of snow at the airport. Our airfield team has continued their work throughout the night to clear critical areas so planes can safely arrive and depart.”
We’ll provide more details when they become available.
