Canada's leading air carrier is temporarily suspending service to the United States.
Air Canada has announced it will ground all flights to the U.S. after the daily schedule concludes on Sunday evening. Flights to the U.S. are tentatively scheduled to resume on May 22.
Air Canada is grounding the flights in accordance with the Canadian government extending its agreement with the U.S. to keep the border between the two neighbours closed to all non-essential travel.
The carrier has been operating with 90 per cent fewer flights scheduled since March 16, with travel concentrated on three hubs, in Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary. No Air Canada flights are currently being scheduled at either the Windsor or London airports.
Up until this point, Air Canada has maintained routes to 11 U.S. destinations, primarily to help repatriate Canadians who had been abroad.
Air Canada is waiving change fees for affected customers with bookings during this period to help them to reschedule their travel at no additional cost.
The official Air Canada website has complete information on flights, rebooking, and the carrier's COVID-19 action plan.
