Flight ground stop in Canada, like the FAA's on Friday, unlikely: aviation expert
Aviation expert John Gradek said Canada is less likely than the United States to impose a nationwide flight ground stop.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a nationwide ground stop after communications problems affected nearly two dozen air-traffic control centers.
Canadian airports suspended flights to and from the United States, while Air Canada canceled its remaining flights that day.
Gradek said the U.S. system is underfunded and outdated, while NAV Canada said its system has built-in backups for safe operations.
