Air Canada announced on Wednesday it would be making reductions to its flight schedule in July and August to handle what it says are ongoing flight delays and airport congestions.
A total of 77 daily round trips will be cancelled during those summer months, amounting to 154 flights a day, with the majority being late night, domestic and trans-border flights operating on smaller aircraft. The majority fly out of Toronto and Montreal.
As Marianne Dimain reports, with the frustrations already in place over difficulties with baggage and cancellations already occurring, this added information has passengers saying they’ve had enough.

Next year will be normal.
This govt. needs to be fired .
So what people shouldn't be traveling near as much stay home plant garden
foreign airline, private flight on a private airstrip. organise the groups yourself.
thank me later.
Just another of the thousands of failures of Trudeau.
Air Canadas answer to having too many flights booked, is to cancel flights…?
Smaller aircraft cannot accommodate TWO pilots. The airlines do not have enough pilots. A flight cannot leave the tarmac without 2 pilots, the liability is just too great. Myocarditis, pericarditis, stroke, heart attack. The pilots have been decimated.
Flew out of Detroit today. ZERO problems. LMFAO
Is not the time to travel, stay home!
I know an air Canada pilot has been laid off for two years and not called back yet.
They do not want to pay wages
Worse, the gov will bail these companies out with your tax dolllars
Trudeau already fixed this with a big budget committee. Theyvwill be travelling to Tahiti, Madrid, London, Paris and release a report in September or October
Why the hell are those people wearing masks? 🤣
I refuse to spend $$ until all vax/mask mandates are gone.
Boo … what out got the Covid bogey man . Behind you .. it’s comedy now . Any chance we can see the flu death numbers from the last two years ?
Justin Trudeau's and Omar Alghabra's answers these airline problems : Just Build Back Better! If only we could believe them.
.
Note : The Mars Circular Orbiter recently shot photos back to Earth showing two large Craters, one near Toronto's Pearson International Airport, the other near Montreal's Trudeau
Airport, both filled with luggage marked Bound For Air Canada!
Pilots in the US on the picket lines
LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep voting Liberal, we have a way to go yet to 3rd world,BUT given how much Canadians love Justin….let’s keep them in power, we’ll be the top 3rd world country yet….who knows white Canadians may be leaving Canada to reside in a better country…like say India . Go Trudeau!
SIX SUITCASES PER PERSON ?
This is so hilarious people actually think that flying was going to be back to normal nothing normal anymore. People have gone insane and nothing will change until Trudeau gone completely
SIX MILLION ,NOT WORKING,SUPREME BENEFITS,REFUGEES ,WILL DO THAT TO YOUR TAXES. PREPARE YSLF. ONE MORE MILLION REFUGGEES COMING..! EUROPEANS SUPREMACISTS LEFT WITHOUT NOTHING.
Should settle down soon since our "fully Vaccinated" status is only good for 9 months.
This is by design and a digital passport will be their solution. I hate our communist liberal government and the fakenews media covering them.
There's been no progress for a while. No one should be surprised about this and should have been prepared.
Taking your money and canceling shouldn't be surprising either. It's completely normal for govt and companies to wait until the last second.
New govt won't fix this. Deal with it.
Hey everyone, this is really bad news, Myself I travel between two points effected for my job.
The problem is deeper than the airlines abilities.
Canada we have so many problems in so many areas of our daily lives, we need to look for a different way of how the countries affairs are handled!
The arrogance of our federal governments inability to solve problems while the pander to the elites need to change. The current federal and some provincial governments needs to be replaced from our democratic election process, they have failed us in so many ways! Sooner the better!!!
Supply-demand. They're jacking up prices by severely limiting supply. New AC CEO sus
LMFAO!!! It's like this in UK, Portugal, Spain, US, Australia, everywhere. Take a road trip, it'll be faster
I was lucky there’s no problem for my flight yesterday
That’s why you get for going along with the mandates now your flight canceled and poisoned ATA BOY CANADIANS !!!!
Same happening in 🇬🇧
The reason they are doing this is to have full planes and less flights to help reduce fuel prices. They should cut flights 60%!! This would help greatly in super spreading of covid etc, cut emissions greatly and air would clean up!! The reduction in fuel consumption would help cut prices too.
WHO WUD want to work in the airline industry when they pay u minimum wage, split shifts, split days off, graveyard shifts, no guarantee hours, only two weeks vacation, get it from incompetent managements an irate passengers, and is the first to get affected if there was ever a slowdown in the economy as proven with C0VID 19! Run away as fast as you can from this sector!
Another reason to impeach Trudeau.
Gee wonder what happened? Duhhhhh Trudope happened that’s what.
Brought to you by Justine.
Yeah you can thank the stupid ArriveCAN. Stop this madness smh
Way to go, cancel those flights!! It's about time big businesses start standing up to the Federal Government! Federal Government doesn't want to drop Federal Mandates and get people back to work, businesses need to keep cancelling services. Don't give them any revenue streams! People that work on the tar mats and the service people are still not back at work over Federal Mandates, so keep cancelling the flights!! Same goes for postal workers, stop services and start suing!! More companies need to start taking a stand against this Federal Government. Maybe if more companies, such as, CNRL get sued by over 80+ employees over Vaccs policies, we will see momentum in moving forward! Time to start suing cities, municipalities, governments, Health Institutions..heck sue everyone that still has Vaccs policies in place. Governments will only budge if they are sued…class action lawsuits are what are in the future…
I hope it will become better I really hope so everything in my house was a mess this really need to get fixed !
Billions of taxpayer Dollars Given to Canadian Airlines or should I Shared by the Executives ………….. How Does the Government Elites Fly on Time with no Delays But The Taxpayers Who Forked Out Billions Can't Get a Flight …LOL
AIR CHINADA
Global News Trudeau's propaganda machine network.
Wake up idiots nothing is going to get better only worste. It is not even being hidden anymore what the plan for humanity is yet people just choose not to acknowledge.
You need a passport to travel overseas.
Yeah but American airports are doing better. And if we do away with these silly restrictions, that would help immensely, but the only way to accomplish that is to get rid of this moronic government
If they don't have the staff, crew, or aircraft, they must cancel the flights. The airports can't handle the crowds either. It's long overdue.
Time for the military to step in!! Enough is enough
This airline has always been awful. The union is the main cause of all the problems. Open the skies up Canada
The only ones who get service from any major corporate business are the high end share holders. Welcome to slavery.
