Air Canada trims select routes as jet fuel costs surge

Air Canada will temporarily suspend select Toronto- and Montreal-to-New York flights (JFK) from June 1 to October 25 due to sharply higher jet fuel costs tied to ongoing Middle East tensions; one Montreal and three Toronto routes are affected, with affected customers offered alternate options, while LaGuardia and Newark services continue from six Canadian cities (34 daily). Additional suspensions include Salt Lake City–Toronto through June with a 2027 resume plan, and a delay to Guadalajara–Montreal; the airline says about 1% of capacity will be impacted. The move comes as industry fuel costs weigh on bookings and energy groups warn of tightening jet-fuel reserves in Europe.

International Airlines Suspend Flights to Israel Following Recent Attacks

Several major international airlines have suspended or reduced flight services to and from Tel Aviv following a surprise attack by Hamas militants on Israel. Israel's national carrier, El Al, has added more flights to bring reservists back to assist in the country's mobilization. The tourism sector in Israel, which contributes to 3.6% of total employment, is expected to be heavily impacted by flight cancellations. Regulators have urged caution in the region's airspace, but flights have not been officially suspended. Airlines such as United, Delta, American, Air France, Finnair, easyJet, Wizz Air, Lufthansa, TAP, and Virgin Atlantic have suspended or adjusted flights, while others like Ryanair, flyDubai, and El Al continue to operate. Hainan Airlines and other airlines from China, Hong Kong, and South Korea have canceled flights between Tel Aviv and Shanghai.
