Air Canada temporarily suspending some flights to New York City and other locations
Summary
Air Canada will temporarily stop some flights from Toronto and Montreal to New York City starting June 1, due to high jet fuel prices. The airline plans to restart these flights on October 25, while continuing other flights to New York-area airports.Key Facts
- Air Canada is pausing one Montreal-New York flight and three Toronto-New York flights from June 1 to October 25.
- The suspension is because jet fuel prices have roughly doubled since the start of the US-Israel and Iran conflict.
- Fuel price rises have made some routes unprofitable for Air Canada.
- Air Canada will still fly 34 times daily to New York’s LaGuardia and Newark airports from six Canadian cities.
- Additional changes include pausing the Salt Lake City-Toronto route from June 30 until 2027 and delaying a Montreal-Guadalajara service.
- These changes affect about 1% of Air Canada’s passenger capacity.
- Rising fuel costs have also led other airlines like easyJet, Qantas, and Virgin Australia to cut flights or raise ticket prices.
- The International Energy Agency warns Europe has only six weeks of jet fuel left, risking more flight cuts if Middle East oil supplies don’t improve soon.
