Heavy wind storm in Ontario yesterday (gusts to 90kmh) raises question when do airline captains decide to fly or not fly given Canadian weather conditions. Do the big jets take off from and land at airports under extreme weather conditions? Ice, excessive water, wind, visibilty can be very problematic.
