Air Canada will temporarily suspend its flights to New York's John F. Kennedy (JFK) airport for almost five months, a decision linked to the increase in aviation fuel costs.
The measure reflects the pressure that the price of kerosene continues to exert on airlines, especially on routes where profitability is squeezed by the increase in operating expenses.
Impact of energy costs
Fuel is one of the main components of an airline's cost, so its increase usually translates into capacity adjustments, route changes, or operational reviews.
In this case, Air Canada opts to temporarily interrupt the connection with JFK, one of the main international airports in the United States.
Reordering of operations
For the moment, the suspension affects that specific route and is part of the companies' usual strategy to adapt supply and costs to market conditions.
The decision comes at a time when the airline sector remains attentive to the evolution of energy and international stability, two factors that directly condition its margins.
