Toronto-Jacksonville Air Canada Flights Suspended for Winter in Latest U.S. Cut
by Bruce Parkinson
Another U.S. route has been suspended by Air Canada for the coming winter.
According to aviation news website Simple Flying, Air Canada has discontinued daily service between Toronto and Jacksonville, Florida this coming winter.
Within the past few weeks, Air Canada announced cuts to five other U.S. destinations ahead of the winter travel season, citing weak cross-border travel demand and political tensions.
According to the aviation analytics company Cirium, Air Canada will suspend operations between Toronto and Jacksonville from November 2025 through March 2026, with flights resuming on the route next summer season. Air Canada is the sole carrier offering nonstop direct service between Jacksonville and Toronto.
The YYZ-JAX route is typically served by the Bombardier CRJ 900, a regional jet with a seating capacity of up to 76 passengers in a three-class cabin layout: 12 in business class, 16 in economy plus, and 48 in economy class.
The U.S. – and Florida in particular – has been a critical destination for Canadians seeking respite from winter for decades. According to Canadian government statistics, cross-border air travel to the U.S. is declining, with significant drops in both passenger numbers and flight bookings.
Government data shows that Canadian-resident return trips by air continued to decline during the first five months of 2025, with year-over-year drops of 14% in April and 24.2% in May.
