Calm Air Issues Travel Advisories for Thompson and Churchill Flights on Apr 20 - AI Generated Image
Calm Air has issued travel advisories for April 20, 2026, citing forecasted weather conditions that may disrupt scheduled flights into Thompson and Churchill, Manitoba, as well as four communities in Nunavut.
The advisories cover Thompson and Churchill in Manitoba, along with Whale Cove, Chesterfield Inlet, Arviat, and Rankin Inlet in Nunavut. Calm Air notes that current travel advisories may result in flight delays and cancellations outside of the airline’s control. Passengers whose flights are affected are permitted to modify or cancel their reservations without penalty, subject to space availability.
Two important restrictions apply to flights operating under weather advisories: unaccompanied minors and passengers provided with oxygen are not authorized to travel on those affected flights.
In a separate notice, Calm Air also reminds passengers that Anker Power Bank models A1647, A1681, and A1689 are not permitted on any Calm Air flights — in carry-on or checked baggage — effective July 8, 2025. The Government of Canada has recalled these models due to a potential fire risk. Passengers are advised to check their devices before travelling.
For flight status updates, passengers can use the Flight Status tool on the Calm Air website, or contact the Calm Air Reservations team at 1-800-839-2256. Passengers who booked through a travel agent should contact their agency directly.
