People sleeping, stranded at airport and on planes amid airport chaos.
The winter storm in B.C. is affecting Vancouver International Airport once again as most flights are cancelled or delayed on Tuesday morning.
“There are currently no flights departing YVR as we safely get passengers off aircraft and clear the airfield and aircraft of snow and ice to get planes and people moving again,” said Megan Sutton, spokesperson with the Vancouver Airport Authority, in a media statement. Videos posted on social media showed mountains of luggages at YVR airport as people waited near the baggage carousels for at least five hours.
