**Kelowna Airport Investigates Hack of PA System and Displays** Kelowna International Airport is looking into a security breach that occurred Tuesday evening. The airport's public address system and flight information display screens were hacked to show pro-Hamas messages. Airport CEO Sam Samaddar confirmed that operations returned to normal on Wednesday. He stated, "With any kind of these incidents, we want to understand the root cause of what caused it." The incident took place around 5:15 p.m. when a third party gained unauthorized access to the airport's systems. Most of the affected display screens were located in the main terminal concourse and the departure area. Passengers reported seeing messages on the screens that included statements like "Israel lost the war" and "Hamas won," along with derogatory remarks about U.S. President Donald Trump. A male voice speaking in Arabic was also broadcast over the PA system. The hacked messages were visible for approximately two to three minutes before airport staff intervened to remove them. Samaddar explained that the airport has established protocols for responding to cyberattacks. He noted, "Those are plans we rehearsed, we practiced on, we were able to isolate it very, very quickly." The breach was limited to the public information messaging system and did not affect other areas of the airport or the aviation system. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) assessed the situation and determined that the hack did not pose a threat to airport safety or aviation operations, allowing the airport to continue functioning normally that evening. However, two flights experienced delays as a result of the incident. One flight was delayed for two hours, while another was delayed for four hours. The Kelowna airport has reported the incident to Transport Canada and the Centre for Cybersecurity in Ottawa as part of its investigation.
