Let’s first talk about and Air Canada . Recently, there have been endless news about Air Canada temporarily kicking people. People traveling at home and abroad have suffered, and they have been trapped in the airport and unable to go home.
Today, the day before the long weekend, Air Canada issued the latest statement. Due to the global unblocking and the rapid recovery of the domestic tourism industry, shortage of manpower has caused long delays and flight cancellations, so decided to reduce the number of flights by 7. Flights in August, more than 15%! Reduce the number of passengers!
In other words, in the next two months, Air Canada will reduce its flights by an average of 154 flights per day, maintaining 80% of the pre-epidemic level! This decision will affect hundreds of thousands of people who plan to go out!
It is understood that the flight cuts this time are mainly on Toronto to Montreal and other domestic and North American routes.
The global aviation industry is ushering in its first busy summer after the pandemic, but Air Canada has announced cuts or even suspended flight operations at this time. The biggest reason is that the air transportation system is under unprecedented pressure.
html Among the flights in 17 and August, will cut an average of about 77 round-trip routes and a total of 154 flights per day. Most of the affected routes are domestic;
3 more routes will be temporarily suspended——
- BC Kelowna-Baltimore (Baltimore);

Prior to this, Air Canada flew approximately 1,000 flights per day.
Air Canada revealed that the flights being cut are mainly late-night flights and are served by smaller aircraft. International routes will not be affected, but flight times during peak periods will be changed. We hope all passengers will pay attention.
It is not just Air Canada that is under pressure from the peak tourist season. Survey data points out that from June 22 to 28, 38% of flights at Canada's six major airports were delayed and 16% of flights were cancelled.
It’s not just plane flights, the long weekend is coming, even BC Ferries are about to collapse!
Just this morning, BC Ferries temporarily canceled the cruise of the Queen of Alberni . The ferry to Nanaimo and West Vancouver was affected. I am afraid it will affect people's safety on National Day, which is tomorrow. travel.
You must know that every long weekend, BC Ferries will be full. The major piers are full of people. Many ferries are booked early, and can't even get tickets.
BC Ferries spokesperson Deb Marshall said that even people who have made reservations in advance are not guaranteed to have a seat.
During this long weekend, everywhere in Canada will be crowded, not only because July 1st is Canada Day, but July 4th, which is next Monday, is also American Independence Day, The North American long weekend meets together , Every place is probably filled with people traveling.
I hope everyone has a happy National Day!
