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.

Conversely, Air Canada intends to increase flight frequencies on other routes and introduce the Airbus A220-300 aircraft on select U.S. routes for the first time. Flights between Toronto Pearson and Chicago O'Hare International Airport will rise from four times a day to six times a day.

The Airbus A220-300 is set for deployment on routes connecting Toronto with Philadelphia International Airport, Raleigh–Durham International Airport, St. Louis Lambert International Airport starting May 1st; Charlotte Douglas International Airport will follow suit in June.

This strategic shift involves increasing capacity by utilizing the A220-300's configuration of 12 business class seats and 125 economy class seats—137 seats total—compared with the smaller regional jets like CRJ900s or ERJ170s operated by Jazz Air under the Air Canada Express banner.
