Air Canada Cancels Seasonal Flights to Austin, Sacramento, & More

Air Canada continues to cancel flights to U.S. cities due to the rising oil costs plaguing the sector.

According to CTV News, the Canadian airline is ending service on four seasonal flights earlier than planned due to the skyrocketing fuel prices. The routes affected are Toronto to Sacramento, Vancouver to Raleigh, Toronto to Charleston and Montreal to Austin.

“This decision was made as a result of the current price of jet fuel. Affected customers will be contacted with alternate travel options, including the option of full refund where applicable,” the airline said in a statement.

The Toronto to Sacramento service ends Aug. 1, Vancouver to Raleigh July 29, Toronto to Charleston Sept. 6, and Montreal to Austin, Sept. 7.

The decision is just the latest in a series of cost-cutting measures from the airline. In April, Air Canada dropped all service to New York’s JFK International Airport from June 1 through Oct. 25, 2026. At the time, the airline cited jet fuel prices, which have more than doubled since the start of the Iran conflict.

U.S. airlines are also feeling the strain. Delta made waves when it announced it would no longer offer food and beverage service on domestic flights under 350 miles. All of the Big Three airlines increased luggage fees last month to counter high oil prices. After lengthy financial troubles, Spirit Airlines officially shut down last weekend.
