Penticton media outlets reporting:
A number of flights over the weekend cancelled if they arrived or departed in the dark.
“Out of an abundance of caution, WestJet is currently not flying into Penticton at night because of a safety issue we are having with the runway lights being blocked by trees,” said Lauren Stewart, media spokesperson with WestJet, who added they cancelled Monday’s early morning flight as well.
Stewart apologized for the inconvenience and said WestJet is recommending daytime flights and they hope the situation will be resolved soon.
