Air Canada delays launch of certain seasonal routes due to grounding of Boeing 737 Max GlobeBusiness
Air Canada said on Tuesday it would delay the launch of certain seasonal flights this spring, as the carrier wrestles with the challenge of servicing routes previously flown by its grounded Boeing 737 Max aircraft.
Montreal-based Air Canada said a previously-announced halting of flights from two Eastern Canadian cities to London’s Heathrow airport would now remain suspended until May 31.Air Canada, which previously suspended its 2019 financial forecasts, has removed 24 Max jets from its flight schedule until July 1, following grounding of the Boeing jets after two recent crashes involving the model.
The Canadian carrier has been flying alternative planes or consolidating flights into larger jets that were previous flown more frequently on smaller aircraft. Air Canada is “accommodating as best as they can,” said AltaCorp analyst Chris Murray. “At the same time, there is still some uncertainty about when the Max grounding notice is going to be lifted.”
