(Reuters) – Canada’s transport minister on Tuesday moved to quash rumors the government had asked airlines to cut back flights, but said authorities were working to address the long lines travelers were suffering at the nation’s airports.
“We’re working closely with CATSA & partners to address this,” Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said on Twitter, referring to the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority. “Rumours that we have asked airlines to cut back on flights are not true.”
