Vancouver flights cancelled, delayed after Air Canada Montreal\u00a0incident<\/p>\n NAV Canada says the incident, along with turbulent weather,\u00a0has\u00a0caused delays for flights to and from\u00a0YUL on Thursday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Our team is moving aircraft safely, and as quickly as possible.
