Flights at Montreal's Trudeau Airport affected by global IT outage
Some airlines at Montreal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport are being affected by the global technology outage Friday.
"Flight delays and cancellations may occur," the airport writes on social media. "For specific flight information, please contact your airline directly."
A full list of flights departing from Trudeau Airport can be found here, while arrivals are listed here.
The outage has grounded flights, taken banks offline and forced media outlets off the air across the world.
Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike says the issue believed to be behind the outage was not a security incident or cyberattack.
Hospitals
The McGill University Hospital Centre (MUHC), Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) and Lakeshore General Hospital have all confirmed there is no impact on their hospital systems.
Land border crossings
The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) says its telephone reporting system experienced a partial outage Friday morning, but the issue is now resolved.
The agency explains the system is primarily used by small aircraft passengers and boaters.
At 11 a.m., the CBSA reported no delays at the following crossings:
- Stanstead (55)
- Saintt-Armand/Philipsburg (no updates since 7 a.m.)
- Lacolle: Route 223 (no updates since 7 a.m.)
- Lacolle: Route 221
There was a five-minute delay at:
- Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle: Highway 15
Universities
McGill University said it is not aware of any of the IT services at the university being affected in any way.
L'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) said there was no impact on their systems.
Companies
Numerous companies, including Microsoft 365 apps and services, Visa, Amazon and American Airlines, have been affected by the outage.
Payment solutions provider Moneris says it does not use CrowdStrike and is not impacted by the issue.
"Our systems remain fully operational and there is no disruption to processing or other services," the company said in a statement.
