Heavy fog blanketed Regina on Wednesday, creating significant disruptions to air travel and forcing at least one Air Canada flight into a holding pattern above the city.
Flight Operations Disrupted
The persistent fog cover led to multiple flight delays throughout the day at Regina International Airport. Aviation authorities reported reduced visibility that made landing conditions challenging for incoming aircraft.
One Air Canada flight was notably affected, forced to circle the area repeatedly while awaiting improved conditions for landing. The extended holding pattern highlighted the severity of the weather conditions and their impact on flight schedules.
Weather Conditions and Timing
The fog advisory was in effect during the morning and afternoon hours of Wednesday, November 26, 2025. Meteorological reports indicated the dense fog significantly reduced visibility, creating hazardous conditions for both aviation and ground transportation.
The timing of the weather event coincided with peak travel periods, amplifying the disruption for passengers and airport operations alike.
Broader Regional Impact
The fog event in Regina occurred alongside similar weather challenges elsewhere in Saskatchewan. Environment Canada had also issued fog advisories for Saskatoon, where visibility dropped significantly throughout the day.
This weather pattern follows a concerning trend for Saskatchewan transportation safety, coming just after RCMP reported a 175% increase in fatal collisions throughout the province during November.
Airport officials advised passengers to check with their airlines for specific flight status updates and allow extra time for travel to the airport. The fog eventually lifted later in the day, allowing normal flight operations to resume.
