Air Canada suspends JFK flights due to soaring jet fuel costs from Iran war.

Air Canada will suspend flights to New York’s JFK International Airport for nearly five months this summer due to soaring jet fuel prices triggered by the ongoing war in Iran, which has disrupted global oil supplies and led to fuel shortages. The carrier cited a near-doubling of jet fuel costs since the conflict began, reaching $4.32 per gallon, making the route unprofitable. While service to LaGuardia and Newark will continue, the airline will contact affected passengers with alternative travel options. The decision mirrors broader industry struggles, as airlines globally face fuel and labor cost pressures.
