Smaller airlines ask Transport Canada for pilots' shifts to last up to 14 hours

Smaller airlines in Canada are seeking permission from Transport Canada to extend pilots' shifts to up to 14 hours a day, up from the current limit. They argue that the current regulations hinder their ability to cope with the frequent delays that plague air travel in northern regions. This push highlights the ongoing challenges these airlines face in maintaining service reliability amid logistical hurdles, and if approved, could lead to more extended but less frequent flights, potentially reshaping the air travel landscape in the North.
