The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that aiming to prevent the chaos that travellers experienced last year when flying in and out of Canada's busiest airport, Toronto Pearson International has bolstered staffing and made technological improvements ahead of this year's summer surge. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe quotes senior officials at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) saying Monday that it is better prepared for the summer travel rush to ensure passengers do not face widespread delays and cancellations in the coming months. "Our focus has been to rebuild the trust, to regain the confidence of our customers, to bring reliability and predictability to air travel," said GTAA chief executive officer Deborah Flint. Since last summer, the airport has hired 10,000 new employees, giving it 22 per cent more staff, or 50,000 workers in total. The increase includes the hiring of 130 new staff announced last week to help in critical areas such as busing, baggage handling and terminal operations. Ms. Flint said staffing levels are equivalent to 2019 as the airport expects about 80 per cent of the summer traffic it saw before the pandemic -- a 10-per-cent increase over last year.
