Long lineups at airports are nothing new, but the delays at major U.S. airports are becoming so extreme that Canadian airlines are beginning to take note.
WestJet has said it’s considering sending its own staff to help move along lengthy Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lines, as the hours-long wait to get through security is impacting Canadian travellers.
“We are concerned that long TSA lines this summer will impact the overall guest experience in the U.S.,” the airline said in the statement to BNN. “WestJet is exploring the possibility of increasing airport staff to assist TSA lines in some of the key airports.”
