CBC News · Posted: Jun 12, 2021- ✈️ 'When international travel resumes, Canada's borders and airports will be very different- 😷 "Airports are at capacity with just 5 per cent of pre-COVID traffic because of pandemic measures.
☣️ Just as the 9/11 attacks did 20 years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic will transform the way people travel internationally — with hundreds of millions of dollars in new government spending planned for modernizing border security and updating public health measures at airports.
💉 In the recent federal budget, the federal government announced $82.5 million to fund COVID-19 testing infrastructure at Canadian airports and another $6.7 million to buy sanitization equipment for the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority.
Ottawa also has earmarked $656.1 million over five years to modernize Canada's border security.
Daniel Gooch, president of the Canadian Airports Council, said the country's flight hubs still have no clear idea of what is expected of them.
"We've been hoping to have meaningful discussions with government about how to do that for quite some time but, unfortunately, at this point we have no insight into what the different phases of restoration of air travel will look like," Gooch told CBC News.
Gooch said that the four Canadian airports that are still accepting international flights are operating at about five per cent of their pre-COVID levels — but with the current COVID-19 public health measures in place, they are at capacity.
"Part of the problem is the insistence on the two-metre physical distance," he said. "You very quickly hit capacity when you make that requirement. So we can't grow the numbers and keep everything the way it is right now. It's not physically possible." -
