Toronto’s Pearson airport tops list of world’s worst delays this summer

(CNN) — Anyone who’s been to an airport recently can see that demand for travel is back in a big way. What’s not back with a vengeance are the resources needed to handle the crush of air travelers.

Add summer weather to staffing issues at airports and airlines and you have a perfect storm of delays and cancellations.

At one North American airport — Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada — more than half of the scheduled flights between May 26 and July 19 were delayed, according to data compiled for CNN Travel by flight tracking site FlightAware.
