Air Canada indefinitely suspends 14 routes in Atlantic Canada, closes 2 stations
Air Canada is closing two of its stations in Atlantic Canada and indefinitely suspending 14 routes in the region as part of a larger response to lagging sales amid the COVID-19 pandemic and measures put in place to limit its spread.Throughout Canada, 30 domestic routes and eight stations have been closed.“Air Canada expects the industry’s recovery will take a minimum of three years,” the airline said in a statement. “As a consequence, other changes to its network and schedule, as well as further service suspensions, will be considered over the coming weeks.”Since the pandemic began, Air Canada reported a net loss of $1.05 billion in the first quarter of 2020, including a net cash burn in March of $688 million.
