Canadian airports returning to normal operations after early morning bomb threats
Bomb threats early Thursday resulted in temporary disruptions and control tower evacuations at some airports across Canada, officials said.
Airports gradually returned to normal operations after Nav Canada, the country’s air traffic control service, said airports in Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver received the threats.
RCMP in Richmond, B.C., said they received a report of a threat at the Vancouver airport’s Nav Canada control tower around 2 a.m. local time. The tower was evacuated and no threats were found after a search, the force said in a press release.
“After the initial investigation, investigators determined this to be a false report, and that there is no credible threat to public safety,” said Cpl. Melissa Lui, Richmond RCMP media officer.
