Air Canada will suspend scheduled flights to the U.S. from April 26 following a decision by both governments to extend travel restrictions until May 22.
To help passengers affected by the travel ban, the airline is waiving change fees for affected customers with bookings during this period to enable them to reschedule their travel with no additional fee.
Since March 16, Air Canada has reduced its schedule by more than 90 percent as a result of COVID19. Following the initial announcement of U.S.A.-Canada travel restrictions on 21 March, Air Canada maintained limited service to 11 U.S. destinations from its three Canadian hubs, primarily to facilitate the repatriation of Canadians. The last scheduled commercial flight from the U.S.A. to Canada will be on April 26.
Air Canada is Canada’s largest domestic and international airline. Canada’s flag carrier is among the 20 largest airlines in the world and in 2019 served over 51 million customers. The airline is also a founding member of the Star Alliance, and the only international network carrier in North America to receive a Four-Star ranking from Skytrax.
