U.S. Ground Stop Lifted

November 13, 2026 (6pm PST) – The nationwide U.S. ground stop caused by a technology issue earlier today has been lifted.

Some flight delays may continue into the weekend as airlines work to restore normal operations.

Passengers travelling through YYJ are encouraged to check their flight status directly with their airline before heading to the airport.

Victoria Airport Authority (VAA) is proud of the men and women who graciously volunteer their time to serve as Red Coat Airport Ambassadors.

The Red Coat program is a travellers and well-wishers focused initiative designed to mitigate the anxieties of air travel.  Community volunteers strive to create a safe, secure and friendly air terminal atmosphere while maintaining a professional image of the VAA and facilitating the movement of travellers through YYJ.

Named after their bright red blazers, the Red Coats provide invaluable assistance and hospitality to the travelling public and visitors by greeting travellers, assisting with directions and area information, ground transportation questions and basic flight information.

The Red Coat team includes about 25 volunteers.  If you are interested to learn more about the program, please contact us at [email protected]
