"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."
"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."
"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."
Air Canada is ending service earlier than planned on four seasonal routes to U.S. destinations—Toronto to Sacramento, Vancouver to Raleigh, Toronto to Charleston, and Montreal to Austin—due to elevated jet fuel costs. The airline plans to resume full service on these routes in summer 2027 and will offer affected passengers alternative travel options or refunds. The conflict in Iran and resulting Strait of Hormuz oil blockade have caused jet fuel prices to more than double globally. Multiple airlines, including WestJet, are reducing flight capacity and consolidating routes. Air Canada, WestJet, Porter Airlines, and Air Transat have announced fare increases or surcharges to offset rising operational costs.
