Fuel price hike: Canadian airlines cut flights

 

 

Canada's major airlines are cutting flights as global fuel prices soar. The decision was made by companies such as Air Canada and WestJet, which have doubled the price of jet fuel due to conflicts in the Middle East. The companies have been forced to temporarily suspend unprofitable routes and reduce the number of flights. The decision will affect many international and domestic routes, including major services from Canada to New York's JFK Airport.

The changes will mainly take effect during the busy summer travel season from June to October. In addition to cutting services, many airlines have increased baggage fees to address the inconvenience to passengers. Although the companies have announced that they will provide travel facilities instead, economists assess that this will lead to an increase in airfares. The authorities have advised passengers to check the current status of their flights in view of the current situation.
