Air Canada suspends flights to JFK, Salt Lake City
Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Air Canada is suspending select U.S.-bound flights, including all service to JFK Airport and Salt Lake City International Airport, due to soaring jet fuel prices following the Iran conflict.
- The suspension at JFK will last from June 1 to October 25, 2026, while flights to Salt Lake City will be halted from June 30, 2026, with service resuming in 2027.
- Additional route suspensions include domestic flights between Vancouver and Fort McMurray and Toronto to Yellowknife, as well as the indefinite postponement of planned Montreal-Guadalajara service.
- These cuts affect about 1% of Air Canada's total annual flying capacity for 2026 and are part of broader airline industry responses to doubled jet fuel prices since the Iran war began.
- Other U.S. carriers like JetBlue, Southwest, American, and United Airlines have also raised checked baggage fees to mitigate rising fuel costs.
