US EditionAir Canada Suspends Flights to JFK Airport Due to Jet Fuel Prices
The airline is shifting customers to other New York-area flights as jet fuel prices have doubled, a spokesperson said.
- Air Canada is suspending service from Toronto and Montreal to Kennedy International Airport starting June 1, with plans to resume Oct. 25, affecting four daily flights while maintaining 34 flights to LaGuardia and Newark Liberty International Airport.
- Rising fuel prices have more than doubled since the conflict in the Middle East began, forcing the airline to prioritize profitable routes and adjust schedules accordingly to maintain financial viability.
- John Gradek, a faculty lecturer on aviation management at McGill University, described the current situation as the worst aviation crisis in history, stating, "And without fuel, you can't fly."
- The International Energy Agency warned Europe has "maybe six weeks or so" of remaining jet fuel supplies, indicating possible flight cancellations if oil supplies remain blocked by the war.
- Following a 10-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, oil prices tumbled 10 per cent, yet President Donald Trump said the U.S. naval blockade on Iran remains in place until a deal with Tehran is struck.
