Plan around local peaks in Halifax
Weather and season: Winter storms (December to March) can disrupt operations. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In Canada, Canada Day (1 July), Thanksgiving (October) and Christmas to New Year can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
