Toronto Pearson International Airport says it has resolved a network outage that was affecting certain airport operations on Thursday.

Passengers were initially advised that they may experience longer-than-usual check-in times and some flight impacts.

Pearson Airport said the issue was resolved on Thursday morning. Passengers were advised to expect longer-than-usual lines as operations gradually returned to normal.

One passenger who spoke with CityNews during the outage said the baggage systems at the airport weren’t working, and there were “lots of people standing around.”

“It’s a zoo here,” the passenger said, adding that his flight to the U.S. was scheduled to leave at 6 a.m. and had now been delayed until noon.

Pearson Airport said that airport staff are managing the flow of travellers.
