Canada's largest airline, Air Canada, has cut three international routes since mid-year, axing its services to New York, Charleston, and its soon-to-be short-lived service to Singapore. Air Canada operates an extensive network of international and domestic flights from its three main hubs in Canada, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, with a fleet of more than 240 aircraft. Air Canada Terminates Its Service To Singapore Credit: Markus Mainka | Shutterstock Air Canada became the only North American airline to fly to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) in April 2024, operating the route with the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Vancouver International Airport (YVR). The service is set to be axed on January 24, with its last pushback from Vancouver for the Lion City. The return flight from Singapore will depart on January 26. The route, served four times weekly, was the airline's longest flight and the only nonstop link between Canada and Singapore. The airline has suggested that the route failed to meet commercial sustainability targets, despite it running for three years.

Kennedy International Airport (JFK) over the summer, suspending service on June 1. This move removed up to four daily rotations, including two flights from Toronto and two from Montreal. The airline's withdrawal from the airport saw a loss of up to 480 seats per day. Route Aircraft Frequency End Date Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) –John F.

Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Embraer E175 2x Daily June 1 For the Star Alliance carrier, its decision to stop flying to New York-JFK came as the airline consolidated its services to LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and was influenced by the severe spike in the cost of jet fuel following the US and Iran conflict and the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz. This now sees Air Canada operate all its nonstop services to New York, to LaGuardia and Newark, where the airline provides services from six Canadian cities, equating to 34 daily departures. Air Canada Axes Nonstop Charleston To Canada Flights Credit: Joel Serre | Shutterstock Charleston International Airport (CHS) lost its seasonal nonstop flights to Canada when the airline axed its service on September 6. The airline had launched the service from Toronto in March 2024, and despite starting with up to 200 annual departures, this dropped to 92 flights (up to six weekly) before the summer seasonal route was eventually axed. Route Aircraft Frequency End Date Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) – Charleston International Airport (CHS) Embraer E175 6x Weekly (seasonal) September 6 The service to South Carolina has now been dropped completely, as part of a five-route cut for the 2027 summer, including select services that were Toronto Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ) to Boston, Montreal to Seattle, Vancouver to Nashville, and Vancouver to Raleigh. This leaves Charleston with just one international destination on its network map, Cancun, where Breeze Airways operates the route seasonally.
