Next summer, two transatlantic routes are being suspended by Air Canada, which gave "commercial reasons" for the decision, AirlineGeeks noted. The carrier provided confirmation Tuesday of the network modifications, initially reported by Aeroroutes.
The Canadian airline's Montreal base will see no resumption of flights destined for Tel Aviv and Delhi in Summer 2026, AirlineGeeks reported. A Boeing 787 Dreamliner previously flew both services three times weekly.
An initial plan called for the routes to restart in May. An airline spokesperson told AirlineGeeks that service to both Tel Aviv and Delhi will be maintained from Air Canada's Toronto hub.
The Montreal-to-Delhi flight leaving Canada is now scheduled to cease on April 28 and restart on Oct. 25, AirlineGeeks confirmed. The spokesperson further noted, "Affected customers will be offered options, including rebooking on alternative gateways or a full refund. Air Canada is enacting the change now to give customers certainty and the opportunity to make alternative travel arrangements. Air Canada remains committed to the India market and will operate daily service from Toronto to Delhi next summer," AirlineGeeks reported.
Air Canada's service from Montreal to Tel Aviv has been removed from its schedule despite being slated for a May 3 resumption. The spokesperson continued by explaining, "Service from Toronto will operate five times weekly, up from four times weekly this winter, but Montreal-Tel Aviv will not operate for summer 2026 for commercial reasons," AirlineGeeks reported. The official added, "Affected customers will be offered options, including rebooking on alternative gateways or a full refund. Air Canada remains committed to the Tel Aviv market and is enacting these changes now to give customers certainty and the opportunity to make alternative travel arrangements."
