Statement: Traffic disruption due to protest

Published on February 10, 2022

There are currently 60 to 70 light trucks circling the Ottawa International Airport’s arrivals and departures roadways in an attempt to disrupt operations. Airport traffic is already extremely light due to the pandemic so the impact so far is minimal. We are monitoring the situation with our security and airport policing teams and advise anyone who is travelling today to give themselves extra time to get to the airport.

We are very disappointed that the protesters have chosen to disrupt an industry that has already been decimated by the pandemic. The Ottawa International Airport is an important link for essential products and services for Canada’s north, and an important economic engine for the region. Disrupting our airport will hurt people who are already suffering, including passengers and employees who rely on our industry for their livelihood and wellbeing.
