Battling the Elements: The Dedication of Our YYZ Line Maintenance Team

Winter at Toronto Pearson (YYZ) brings extreme cold, snow, and high winds, making every maintenance task more challenging.

Yet, our line maintenance team works tirelessly, ensuring aircraft are safe and ready to fly, no matter the conditions.

Subzero temperatures of -10C or lower, slows processes, ice accumulates quickly, and winds make working at heights even more demanding. Frozen panels, winterizing aircraft for overnight stays, and last-minute troubleshooting are all part of the job. Despite these obstacles, our team adapts, problem-solves, and delivers—keeping our operations and those of our customers running smoothly.

Aircraft don’t wait for better weather, and neither do they. Whether it’s an AOG situation, a routine inspection, or ensuring a safe departure, our team performs every task with precision and professionalism. Their work is often unseen, but it makes all the difference.

Keep up the good work!
