Air Canada Cuts Routes as Fuel Costs Surge
In an official statement, the carrier explained, "Jet fuel prices have doubled since the start of the Iran conflict, affecting some lower profitability routes and flights which now are no longer economically feasible," emphasizing the strain placed on less profitable operations.
Domestically, flights connecting Fort McMurray in Alberta with Vancouver in British Columbia will cease on May 28. Additionally, the route linking Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories to Toronto will be discontinued on August 30. Both of these routes are being permanently eliminated.
Internationally, services between John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and the Canadian cities of Toronto and Montreal will be temporarily halted starting June 1, with plans to resume operations on October 25.
Similarly, flights operating between Salt Lake City and Toronto will be suspended beginning June 30. The airline has indicated that these services are not expected to return until sometime in 2027.
Furthermore, a newly proposed route connecting Guadalajara, Mexico, with Montreal has been scrapped entirely and will no longer be introduced.
