Canada is suspending random COVID-19 testing at all its airports for the rest of June to ease the long wait times that travelers have encountered in recent weeks, a government statement said on Friday.

The random testing will be discontinued from Saturday and will resume “off-site” on July 1, the statement said.

Toronto’s Pearson airport has had planes stuck at gates and hours-long security lines because of staffing shortages. Suzanne Acton-Gervais, interim president of the National Airlines Council of Canada which represents Air Canada and privately held West Jet Airlines, said the move “will improve conditions at Canada’s airports and reduce complexity for travellers.”Airlines around the globe that faced a travel slump during the pandemic have been counting on a strong summer.
