–Air Canada announced Tuesday the suspension for an indefinite period of 30 regional routes as well as the closure of eight stopovers at Canadian regional airports.
This was due to weak demand due to the Covid-19 and the resulting travel restrictions, the carrier said in a statement, noting that such a deal coupled with border closings reduce the prospects for recovery. short and medium term.
The company thus intends to “adopt decisive measures to reduce its overall cost structure and slow down the exhaustion of its cash”, without excluding the possibility of suspending other routes in order to reduce costs.
Restoring air travel will take at least three years, the airline said, which lost $ 1.05 billion in the first quarter of 2020.
