Testing sites will be moved outside airports to reduce congestion.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers flying privately-held WestJet took to social media to post images and accounts of hours-long lines at airports, such as at Canada\u2019s busiest, Toronto Pearson International Airport.    <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross our network we have seen three cancellations and more than 100 flights have been delayed as a result of the outage,\u201d WestJet said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>NAV Canada attributed the outage to Zayo Group Holdings, Inc., one of its telecommunications services providers. <\/p>\n<p>Zayo a communications infrastructure platform, said the outage was caused by the disruption of two key fiber lines, partly because of a train derailment on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have rerouted a significant volume of traffic via other routes so that our customers can begin resuming normal operations,\u201d said Zayo, which provides bandwidth to customers including the tech and finance industries.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Thursday, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), which operates Toronto\u2019s Pearson, cited long lines at one of its terminals due to the outages, while Calgary International Airport said travelers may experience delays.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, a massive network outage at Rogers Communications Inc disrupted nearly every facet of life in Canada, including the call center service of the country\u2019s largest airline Air Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The federal government said this week that Canada\u2019s telecom networks need to be more resilient and asked telecommunications companies to agree to a formal deal to help each other during emergencies.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Ismail Shakil in Ottawa and Allison Lampert in Montreal; editing by John Stonestreet, Chris Reese, Richard Chang and Diane Craft)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2726290\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6D0VS-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6D0VS-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Allison Lampert and Ismail Shakil MONTREAL\/OTTAWA (Reuters) -WestJet Airlines and air traffic control manager NAV Canada said their services were returning to normal on Thursday afternoon following earlier outages<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1555044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1555044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555044\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1555044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1555044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1555044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
