Air Canada Cuts More US Flights as Fuel Prices Soar

Air Canada A321XLRAir Canada is cutting short four seasonal transborder routes, citing the high cost of jet fuel.

According to the CBC, the carrier will end service earlier than planned on Toronto-Sacramento, Vancouver-Raleigh, Toronto-Charleston and Montreal-Austin.

The final flights are scheduled for 01AUG for Toronto-Sacramento, 29JUL for Vancouver-Raleigh, 06SEP for Toronto-Charleston and 07SEP for Montreal-Austin.

Affected customers will be offered alternative travel arrangements or refunds where applicable. Air Canada says it plans to resume full service on the routes in summer 2027.

The cuts come after Air Canada suspended six other routes last month that it said were no longer economically viable, as airlines contend with jet fuel prices that have more than doubled. WestJet has also trimmed capacity this spring, while Air Canada, WestJet, Porter and Air Transat have all indicated fares or surcharges could rise to offset fuel costs.
