Uber has ordered its drivers to stop picking people up at the Ottawa International Airport, weeks before city hall releases a report on taxi regulations.

The international ride-ordering company asked its drivers to stop taking requests from the airport starting at 2 a.m. Friday. However, Uber drivers can still drop people off at the airport.

A spokeswoman for Uber Canada echoed a notice sent to Uber drivers Thursday, saying the company is “making changes to the pickup experience” at the airport.

“We’re working with the airport and are confident that we will be able to resume operations soon,” Susie Heath said in an email.

There was no explanation about what led to the decision.

Airport spokeswoman Krista Kealey said Uber drivers technically haven’t been permitted to pick up people from the airport since it’s not an “authorized service.” Only cabs that are dispatched by Coventry Connections have official curbside access to fares. The airport is talking with Uber about how to go forward, Kealey said.

The timing of the decision to stop Uber pickups is being positioned as coincidental, but the airport is aware of the city’s work on the taxi regulations.

“We’re not sure what the end result is going to be, but we know something is going to be announced,” Kealey said.
