Air Canada Suspends JFK Flights

The global aviation industry is beginning to feel the severe impact of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, with Air Canada becoming the latest carrier to pare back its summer schedule.

Flights from major hubs in Toronto and Montreal to JFK will be halted for nearly five months, with a planned resumption in late October.

Average jet fuel costs have skyrocketed to over $4.30 per gallon, forcing airlines to reconsider the viability of certain routes.

Aviation experts warn that more suspensions may follow if energy market volatility continues to squeeze profit margins.
