Air Canada has cut the previously popular flight route between Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Jacksonville, Florida, as part of its latest plans to accommodate a changing travel demand, TheStreet.com reports.
The airline, which is Canada’s flagship carrier, will suspend flights between Toronto Pearson International and Jacksonville International airports starting in November, but will resume the flight path for the spring and summer demand starting in March 2026, according to the website.
“If we can derisk this a little bit and move and be a bit proactive and move capacity into other sectors [where] we see strength, I think that’s the right move right now in this context,” Air Canada executive vice president of revenue Mark Galardo previously told investors in March via TheStreet.com.
Air Canada is the only airline that currently offers direct flights to northeast Florida from the Toronto area, which is a two-and-a-half-hour-plus flight on a Bombardier CRJ 900 operated by Air Canada’s subsidiary Jazz Aviation and can seat up to 76 passengers, according to Simply Flying. Demand for flights to Jacksonville from Air Canada travelers dropped amid recent rocky tensions between the United States and Canada stemming from President Donald Trump‘s announced tariffs and public calls for the country should become the 51st state.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney axed plans to enforce a new digital service tax on American tech firms on Monday (June 30) after Trump had publicly deemed it a “foolish” move and a “direct and blatant attack” on the US.
