United Airlines cancels Los Angeles-Toronto route ahead of launch

Currently, two Canadian airlines operate between Los Angeles and Toronto – Air Canada and Porter Airlines. Air Canada dominates with over 200 return flights scheduled this month alone.

Despite pulling out of this route, United maintains a partnership with Air Canada. Customers can book flights operated by Air Canada through United’s website as part of their joint venture agreements covering various regions including North America and Europe.

These partnerships offer benefits such as coordinated reservation processes, baggage transfers, and loyalty point collection across both airlines under the Star Alliance network.

Route adjustments are not uncommon in the airline industry. For instance, Delta Air Lines recently announced changes within its network; suspending its intra-Texas route between Austin and Harlingen while reintroducing a seasonal service from Atlanta to Fargo.
