Commercial flights have been suspended at Victoria International Airport as RCMP respond to a call for service.
At 3:23 p.m. PT, the airport authority’s Twitter account announced the airport was closing to commercial flights as police responded to an undisclosed incident.
“We are asking travellers not to come to the airport at this time and to please check your flights status with your carrier or our website,” the Twitter account stated in its initial tweet.
In a pair of follow-up posts, the authority redirected calls for information to RCMP.
