At least two Canadian airports, Kelowna and Winnipeg, have faced temporary tower closures due to a shortage of air traffic controllers (ATCs), with Kelowna experiencing around 70 closures this year. Air Canada has advised pilots to avoid these airports during staffing shortages. NAV Canada stated that these closures are precautionary, ensuring safety and employee well-being. Despite tower closures, the airports can operate under uncontrolled aerodrome procedures, allowing pilots to manage takeoffs and landings safely.
