Here’s the latest I can share based on current public reporting:
Air Canada has been adjusting its schedule due to elevated jet fuel costs tied to geopolitical events in the Middle East. Reports indicate temporary suspensions and route reductions as carriers cope with higher fuel prices.[1][9]
Notably, Air Canada announced the suspension of several routes to and from New York’s JFK and other markets for a period this year as fuel costs rose, with some services deemed no longer economically viable.[5][7][1]
There have also been reports of Air Canada suspending Cuba flights amid fuel supply concerns at Cuban airports, with repatriation and flexible rebooking options offered to affected travelers.[2][3][9]
Industry observers have described this as part of a broader global jet-fuel shortage amid supply disruptions, with analysts noting potential continued pressure on prices and capacity through the spring and summer.[4][6]
