Calm Air has released new travel advisories for Wednesday, February 4, 2026, warning of potential flight disruptions due to forecasted weather conditions. The advisories specifically affect flights into Flin Flon, The Pas, and Thompson in Manitoba, as well as Naujaat in Nunavut.
To ensure passenger safety during these potential disruptions, Calm Air has implemented temporary restrictions on affected flights. Until the advisory is lifted, the airline will not accept:
- Unaccompanied minors.
- Passengers requiring oxygen.
Travelers booked on affected flights are being offered flexibility. Calm Air typically allows passengers impacted by weather advisories to modify or cancel their reservations without penalty, helping to minimize the inconvenience of sudden schedule changes.
The advisories come as the region grapples with typical harsh February conditions. Communities like Thompson and Flin Flon often see daily highs struggling to reach -10°C, with frequent snow and overcast skies complicating air travel. In Nunavut, Naujaat is currently facing extreme cold, with average temperatures hovering around -29°C.
