Air Canada Outlines Route Cuts in Detail

Air Canada last week announced it was trimming roughly 15% of its flights as it deals with unprecedented demand and airport issues.

Their website now has a list of the changes they’ve made, including flights between Toronto and several major Canadian cities, such as Ottawa, Calgary Charlottetown and Vancouver. The list also includes changes in flights to Miami, San Francisco and other U.S. cities.

Here’s a copy of what I found posted on their site on Sunday night (July 3).

This week, Air Canada announced changes to its summer schedule to support unprecedented and unforeseen strains on our organization. International flights are unaffected, with a few timing changes to reduce flying at peak times. Flights adjusted are to and from our Toronto and Montreal hubs. These will be mostly frequency reductions, affecting primarily evening and late-night flights by smaller aircraft, on transborder and domestic routes. Four routes will be temporarily suspended.

  • Montreal – Kelowna
