Air Canada announced Tuesday that it is discontinuing service on 30 domestic routes and closing eight stations at regional airports in the country.

The airline said in a statement that it was making the cuts because of continuing weak demand for business and leisure travel during the coronavirus pandemic. Travel restrictions and border closures by government have also decreased the prospects for recovery.
