Several flights were delayed or cancelled at 麻豆传媒映画International Airport (YVR) Monday, but the B.C. storm is no longer impacting operations.
Starting on Sunday, Sept. 24, travellers headed to B.C.'s biggest airport were anxiously checking updates to see if their 麻豆传媒映画flights were cancelled due to a severe storm caused by a bomb cyclone over the Pacific Ocean.
Thirty-eight flights arriving at YVR were delayed and six were cancelled. Ten departing flights were delayed and six were cancelled, according to .
But YVR spokesperson Emad Egahi said that the airport is not experiencing any delays, cancellations, or other operational impacts caused by the storm. Instead, they were caused due to a variety of other reasons, such as weather or operations at other airports.
"YVR closely monitors all weather conditions, including the possibility of lightning and high winds, and currently airport operations are proceeding as normal," he told V.I.A.
The storm system is heading northward toward Haida Gwaii rather than onto the mainland, meaning that other parts of B.C. will see more severe weather than Metro Vancouver.
Several arriving flights were delayed, including departures from Masset, Bella Coola, and Campbell River; a flight from Tofino to Vancouver was cancelled. These flights originated in areas that are seeing more intense weather.
