Air Canada to suspend some flights to U.S. over jet fuel costs
Air Canada announced Friday it will suspend service on several routes to the United States due to soaring jet fuel costs.
According to a statement from Canada's largest carrier, jet fuel prices have doubled since the start of the Iran conflict, rendering some routes and flights no longer economically feasible, News.az reports, citing Xinhua.

The suspensions affect a mix of transborder and domestic services. Service from Montreal and Toronto to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport will be paused from June 1 to Oct. 25.
Air Canada will also suspend its Toronto-Salt Lake City route on June 30, with a tentative return set for 2027.
The total impact to the airline's planned capacity is roughly 1 percent of annual available seat miles, the statement said.
