Air Canada has announced a series of changes to its United States route network for the upcoming summer season. The airline will discontinue services to three U.S. cities from Toronto Pearson International Airport, namely Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Kansas City International Airport, and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Additionally, Air Canada will also cease operations on its route from Toronto to Portland International Airport.
In an official statement provided to Simple Flying, Air Canada explained the rationale behind these decisions: "Unfortunately, we are currently unable to serve these markets given our current fleet resources. However, these communities are important to our network, and it is our present intention to return in 2026."
Moreover, flights from Montréal-Trudeau International Airport to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport will be canceled after March 9th. The airline plans reductions in flight frequencies on several routes as well. From Toronto, flights to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International will decrease from thrice daily to twice daily and those to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport will drop from twice daily to once daily. Similarly, flights from Montreal to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport will reduce from twice daily to once per day.
