Air Canada suspends JFK flights

The suspension is expected to last until late October, impacting peak summer travel for thousands of passengers.

While Air Canada will continue to operate 34 daily flights to other New York-area airports like LaGuardia and Newark, the loss of the JFK route is a blow to international connectivity.

Aviation experts suggest that other major carriers may follow suit as fuel supplies remain tight globally.

The move underscores the severe economic impact of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East on the global transport sector.
