The Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is advising travellers that flights are being impacted by low visibility.

The conditions are related to the many wildfires burning in B.C. right now, and the heavy smoke that is covering much of the province.

The YLW website shows some cancellations and delays this morning for flights coming from Seattle, U.S., Calgary, Toronto, Victoria, and Edmonton. Departures are also being affected at this time.

Passengers are being advised to check their flight status on their airline’s website or on the YLW website before arriving at the airport.
