Air Canada announced this Wednesday considerable cuts in flights for this summer due to the high demand, the shortage of personnel and the numerous delays in the country’s airports, AFP reported.
“Unfortunately, things are not business as usual in our industry globally, and this is impacting our operations and our ability to serve with our standards of care,” airline CEO Michael Rousseau said in a statement.

The airline will make “significant reductions” in its summer itineraries “to reduce the volume and flow of passengers to a level where we believe the airport system can accommodate,” he said, adding that “it was not an easy decision.”
The announcement comes hours after Canadian Transport Minister Omar Alghabra denounced “unacceptable” delays at airports.
“We are currently working with our partners, including airports and airlines, to implement additional solutions to this global situation,” the official wrote on Twitter.
