Bomb Threats Cause Delays at Canadian Airports

Canada's aviation authority is warning travelers across the country of delays as it handles bomb threats against its airports.

The threat is said to have been made early on Thursday and employees at the affected facilities have been evacuated, according to NAV Canada's spokesperson Vanessa Adams, reports The Globe and Mail.

"We are cooperating with authorities to handle the situation and ensure the safety of personnel and passengers", says Adams.

According to the US Federal Aviation Administration, the threats have been directed against the international airports in Montreal and Ottawa.
