Vancouver International Airport (YVR) has hired KPMG and aviation advisors Arup to help it review airport systems and processes in the wake of the late-2022 winter storms that disrupted the travel and aviation industries.
"YVR is undertaking an enhanced after-action review that will bring together input from airlines, partners, suppliers, and employees. We have engaged KPMG and global aviation planning and advisory firm, Arup, to assist in this review," the airport announced,
“We recognise that this past holiday season was very hard on travellers, their friends, and families. Many people were looking forward to travelling again, particularly since this was the first December in three years where most travel restrictions were lifted," said Tamara Vrooman, the airport's chief executive and president.
"We have seen that the systems and processes our airport community has relied on for decades must be improved given the realities our industry has experienced post-pandemic along with increasing climate-related weather events," Vrooman said.
