These 15 Ontario airports reopen to international travel today
For the first time in nearly two years, dozens of Canadian airports will be allowed to welcome international flights.
According to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), they are gradually bringing back border services to select airports across the country.
These smaller airports have been affected by temporary COVID-19 measures, but now they’ll once again be able to accommodate international travellers.
