transmit move around continues to be wedged by soaring fire prices. On th, Air Canada confirmed that because of the current high cost of jet fuel, it is halting service earlier than planned on four seasonal routes to U.S. Destinations.
The affected routes are:
•Toronto to Sacramento: Last flight is Aug. 1
•Vancouver to Raleigh: Last flight is July 29
•Toronto to Charleston: Last flight is Sept. 6
•Montreal to Austin: Last flight is Sept. 7
Air Canada plans to resume full service on these routes in the summer of 2027. The airline says affected passengers will be offered alternative travel options or a refund, where applicable.
Airlines around the world have begun cutting flights as the conflict in Iran, and the resulting Strait of Hormuz oil blockade, have caused jet fuel prices to more than double.
Last month, Air Canada announced it would suspend six routes that it said are "no longer economically feasible," affecting routes across North America.
WestJet also announced it was cutting capacity by about one per cent in April, three per cent in May and nearly six per cent in June by consolidating flights on some routes and shortening the travel period for seasonal service to several destinations.
The jet fuel shortage has also affected airfares. Air Canada, WestJet, Porter Airlines and Air Transat have each announced plans to raise fares or add a surcharge to offset rising costs.
