Air Canada has continued to reduce capacity on routes to the United States, removing some flights from its summer schedule as tensions between Canada and the US continue rising. Affecting Vancouver routes As flagged by AeroRoutes and affirmed by data from the aviation analytics company Cirium’s Diio Mi airline planning tool, Air Canada’s latest schedule update on flights from Canada to the US includes slight capacity cuts from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to the US. The cuts will affect flights from Vancouver to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), and Miami International Airport (MIA).
On flights from Vancouver to Washington-Dulles, Air Canada removed two weekly flights from its previously planned schedule of daily flights on the route, resulting in the airline planning five weekly departures between June and August. Air Canada resumed flights between Vancouver and Washington-Dulles in June 2023, returning to the route it had not served since August 2004. Meanwhile, on flights from the Canadian city to Houston-Intercontinental and Miami, the airline is removing a single weekly flight from both routes, resulting in the carrier scheduling six and three weekly services, respectively, in July and August.
So far, the cuts have not affected flights in September and October, with the Canadian carrier still planning daily flights from Vancouver to Houston-Intercontinental and four weekly departures to Miami. .
