If you’ve flown anywhere in the years since the world opened back up post-pandemic, you’ve probably been faced with several flight delays or cancellations, which might have left you wondering whether travel was always this fraught or if things really are worse post-COVID.

According to Statista, almost every major North American airline saw late flight arrivals skyrocket in 2021 and 2022 when compared to their pre-pandemic numbers, save for United, which had fewer delays in 2022 than in 2019.

The issue isn’t just limited to the United States either; back in July 2023, Air Canada delayed or canceled nearly 2,000 flights during the Canada Day long weekend. Following that chaos, Deborah Flint, the CEO of the Toronto Airport Authority, gave a press conference updating passengers on travel to and from Toronto during the rest of the busy summer season.

As Flint tells the media that Toronto Pearson Airport has seen “almost a doubling in terms of improvement in on-time performance since last year,” CTV News’ cameraperson pans up to the arrivals board, which is dominated by delayed and canceled flights; of the 24 flights shown, only six are showing as on time. Oops.

To add insult to injury, the camera then zooms in one on stretch of a canceled flight sandwiched in between six delayed flights to really hammer the point home that Flint might be being ever so slightly disingenuous.

Commenters were impressed with the real-time fact-checking, with one writing, “Camera man became the fastest fact checker journalist I ever seen,” while another added, “Hell yeah, that’s what journalism is all about. Top camera work and comedic timing.”
