The organization that runs Toronto’s Pearson International Airport is “urgently” calling on the federal government to help alleviate major delays affecting passengers at security and clearance points amid a shortage of staff.

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority says Ottawa needs to make investments to boost staffing levels and bring in more technology, as well as “streamline or eliminate” COVID-19 public health requirements to deal with the issue.
