Canada’s air traffic control service says some airports across the country could see delays after receiving bomb threats early Thursday morning.
“Early this morning, NAV CANADA was made aware of bomb threats affecting facilities in Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
It said employees at these airports are safe and there was a temporary ground stop.
“Following the evacuation of a number of our sites and subsequent threat assessment by authorities, service is gradually resuming at affected sites,” NAV Canada stated in a update on X.
In Montreal, the Sûreté du Québec said its officers were “informed of a threatening call in a specific area of the airport” around 7 a.m. ET.
A spokesperson told CityNews Montreal a “targeted evacuation” took place to conduct checks, and so far, nothing suspicious has been found.
“The investigation is ongoing, and airport activities have continued and have not been disrupted by this,” the official said.
A spokesperson for Montréal–Trudeau International Airport said its NAV Canada control tower was evacuated but flight operations have since resumed.
Travellers are advised to check the status of their flight before heading to the airport.
