Air Canada cuts Florida flight capacity due to demand

Air Canada is cutting flights to the U.S., particularly to Florida, due to lower demand linked to ongoing trade conflicts. The airline is replacing larger aircraft with smaller jets on several routes, including from Montreal and Toronto to Fort Lauderdale and other Florida cities. Additionally, Air Canada will reduce weekly flights from Vancouver to Miami from four to three. The changes are mainly focused on July and August, with some routes previously operated by its leisure-focused brand, Air Canada Rouge. Despite these cuts, Air Canada’s overall U.S. capacity could still increase by 7.5% year-on-year in July. However, ongoing trade tensions may lead to further adjustments in the future.
