YELLOWKNIFE — Airlines that operate in the North — where many residents rely on flights for transportation and goods — say disruptions from the COVID\u002D19…
Rodyniuk said the airline hasn’t had to cancel any destinations or significantly reduce flight volumes, but there have been cases where limits on duty time have resulted in delays.
Joe Sparling, president and chief executive officer of Air North, also raised concerns about how the new fatigue rules could hamper airlines’ ability to deal with challenges such as weather disruptions.Article contentSparling, whose airline has also not needed to reduce or cancel any flights, said pilots who get training and work in the North tend to move on to southerncarriers.
He said financial incentives and other supports are needed to keep pilots in the North, where there are also benefits to working. He said the flight school is unique as it also has an airline, Northwestern Air Lease Ltd., where graduates can get experience.A 2018 report by the Canadian Council for Aviation and Aerospace estimated the industry needed to hire 55,000 new workers by 2025 to keep up with projected growth and replace retirees.
Tim Perry, Canada president of the Air Line Pilots Association, said the effects of the pandemic, including disruptions to flight schools, have contributed to the issue.
