en.Wedoany.com Reported - Air Canada recently announced that it will cut part of its flight schedule to address the challenges posed by rising aviation fuel costs. The company stated that, in the current economic environment, it has identified several routes that no longer meet profitability targets and has decided to implement temporary suspension measures.

Air Canada pointed out: "We regularly monitor and review our route network to ensure we achieve our profitability targets. Since the conflict in certain regions, aviation fuel prices have risen significantly, impacting some less profitable routes and flights, which are no longer economically viable."

This adjustment involves five routes, including both domestic and international flights. Within Canada, the Fort McMurray to Vancouver route will be suspended starting May 28, 2026, and the Yellowknife to Toronto route will take effect from August 30, 2026.

Regarding U.S. routes, the Salt Lake City to Toronto flight will be temporarily canceled from June 30, 2026, with plans to resume in 2027. The routes from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Toronto and Montreal will also be suspended from June 1, 2026, with operations expected to resume on October 25, 2026.

Air Canada emphasized that it will continue to serve the New York area normally through LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). On international routes, the planned route from Montreal to Guadalajara, Mexico, has been shelved.

According to Air Canada's estimates, the total impact of these adjustments on the company's planned capacity is approximately 1% of annual Available Seat Miles (ASMs). This move aims to optimize the route network and address the economic pressures brought by rising aviation fuel costs.
