Flight disruptions at YXE due to foggy weather
Fog that settled over Saskatoon overnight caused significant disruptions to flights, affecting passengers across the Prairies.
Impact on flights
- Several flights scheduled to land at or depart from Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (YXE) were either delayed, diverted to other airports, or canceled.
- Weather conditions reduced visibility, making it unsafe for planes to land or take off safely.
- Passengers experienced inconvenience and rescheduling, with some flights rerouted to cities like Calgary or Regina.
“The fog made it nearly impossible for pilots to land safely here at YXE,” explained a spokesperson for the airport. “Safety is our highest priority.”
Broader implications
The fog disruption highlights the challenges that adverse weather continues to pose for air travel, especially in regions susceptible to rapidly changing conditions. Travelers are encouraged to check flight statuses before heading to the airport, particularly during early winter months when fog and other weather events frequently occur.
Fog-caused flight delays at Saskatoon airport underscored the ongoing challenges posed by weather conditions for Prairie air travel safety and reliability.
