In an email statement to the CTV News Channel, an Air Canada spokesman said the company would shorten the schedule for an average of 154 daily flights in July and August. So far, Air Canada has stated that it operates about 1,000 flights per day.

According to the company, the most affected routes are flights to and from hubs in Toronto and Montreal. Air Canada reduces the frequency of these flights during the summer, primarily affecting evening and midnight flights on airline small aircraft.

Air Canada will also stop three routes this summer. A spokeswoman said the airline will temporarily suspend routes between Montreal and Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Kelowna, and Toronto and Fort McMurray.

International flights are largely unaffected, except for timing changes that spokespersons have stated to reduce peak flights and improve passenger flow to these destinations.
