Air Canada - Toronto travel advisory

Due to a planned shutdown of the NAV Canada Instrument Landing System (ILS) August 4-26, 2000 during construction at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, combined with decreased visibility, airlines serving that airport, including Air Canada and Canadian Airlines, have been advised by NAV Canada that a ground delay program has been instituted at that airport.

Consequently, Air Canada and Canadian Airlines arrivals are currently delayed for an average of 35-40 minutes, with some arrival delays up to one hour. Due to the lateness of incoming aircraft, some departures may be delayed later today.

As the situation is constantly evolving, exact numbers of affected flights are not available.

Delays can be expected during low visibility weather conditions until the ILS system becomes operational on August 26, 2000 at Pearson International Airport.

Up-to-date flight information may be obtained by consulting Air Canada's and Canadian Airlines' websites at www.aircanada.ca or www.cdnair.ca, or by phoning reservations.
