Air Canada will offer four daily round-trip flights to New York LaGuardia starting in March 2026, it said in a Thursday news release. Then, over the summer, the airline says it will introduce three daily flights to Boston Logan, two to Chicago O'Hare and one to Washington Dulles. Porter Airlines, headquartered at Billy Bishop, already services the four American cities. The new Air Canada routes mark an escalation in the emerging rivalry between Porter and the flag carrier.

A tentative agreement has been reached to end the contract dispute between flight attendants and Air Canada after nine hours of mediator-assisted talks initiated on Monday evening.

Under Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), if your flight is cancelled due to a labour disruption, airlines must offer you a choice between a cash refund or a rebooked flight.

A complete shutdown of Air Canada is looming if the union representing the flight attendants and the airline fail to reach an agreement by early Saturday.

"Customers travelling between Norman Rogers Airport and Toronto Pearson on Landline's premium motorcoaches will enjoy the same benefits as those making air-only connections, including the convenience of a single itinerary and through-tagged baggage when departing Kingston."

We did experience some turbulence in the first quarter, however, we managed all of it very effectively," said CEO Michael Rousseau, reflecting on the challenges faced.
