Air Canada was struggling to contend with a computer problem Friday that caused flight delays at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.

It was unclear whether the computer glitch, which apparently affected passenger check-in services, was localized at Pearson or had affected the airline’s operations nationwide, said Angela Mah, a spokeswoman for the airline.

“‘We are currently working on isolating the issue and resolving the issue as soon as possible,'” Mah told The Canadian Press in a telephone interview.

An advisory on the Air Canada website said the airline is experiencing technical difficulties with a computer system which will likely result in some flight delays. The advisory said the airline expects the issue to be fixed shortly.
