Cost of fuel and the impact to Air Canada’s schedule

As we regularly do, we monitor and review our network to ensure that routes are meeting profitability targets. Jet fuel prices have doubled since the start of the Iran conflict, affecting some lower profitability routes and flights which now are no longer economically feasible. Schedule adjustments including some frequency reductions are being made in response.

The following route suspensions are also in effect as a result:

Domestic Canada:

• Fort McMurray-Vancouver: route suspended effective May 28, 2026
• Yellowknife-Toronto: route suspended effective Aug. 30, 2026

Transborder:

• Salt Lake City-Toronto: temporary route suspension effective June 30, 2026, with plans to resume in 2027.
• JFK-Toronto: temporary suspension effective June 1, 2026, with plans to resume Oct. 25, 2026
• JFK-Montreal: temporary suspension effective June 1, 2026, with plans to resume Oct. 25, 2026

International:

• Guadalajara-Montréal: route planned to launch now suspended
• Algiers-Montréal: temporary route suspension for summer 2026, with plans to resume route in 2027

Affected customers will be contacted with alternate travel options.

The total impact to Air Canada’s planned capacity is approximately 1 per cent of annual ASMs.
