Fog and low cloud stop many flights in the Northwest Territories for days
Fog over Yellowknife cancelled many flights Friday. Yellowknife is the capital of the Northwest Territories. Bad weather has hurt flights for several days. At least three Canadian North flights there were cancelled. WestJet and Air Canada also had problems. Air Tindi flies to smaller communities from Yellowknife. It said about 85% of its flights were cancelled or moved. It has tried to reach Wrigley for about six days. Air Tindi's president, Chris Reynolds, linked the fog and cloud to unusually warm weather. He said small communities are hit harder. After flights restart, catching up usually takes three or four days.
