File photo A recent severe staff shortage that caused hours-long delays to get through security at Vancouver International Airport is on Kelowna International Airport’s radar. On Sunday, travelers at YVR were stuck in huge lines after several employees of the Canadian Air Transport Authority (CATSA) contract company called in sick at the last minute. Some reports suggested it was a “soft strike” by Allied Universal workers.

This security line is completely unacceptable. Here’s a video I took walking most of it 15 minutes ago.

As long as we can pull those passengers ahead of time to make sure they don’t get stuck in a checkpoint.” Samaddar said this is one of the methods developed to try to keep people moving through the airport. As the summer travel season draws to a close, he notes that there has been a big increase in passenger traffic this year, but that poses challenges. “As you know, we’ve had some difficulties as an airline industry in terms of wait times and things, with all aspects of our business. So we’ve had labor shortages building up to support where we’re going,” Samaddar said. He expects that by the end of 2022, YLW will be at about 80 to 85 percent of the passenger volume it saw in 2019. “Which is very, very positive. And we are looking for greater opportunities this fall and winter, with more airline services being introduced to our airport.”
