Airports in Thunder Bay and Winnipeg have dodged a bullet as Air Canada begins to make reductions as a result of COVID-19.
The airline has indefinitely suspended service on 30 domestic routes and closed eight stations at Canadian airports.
The move is due to weak demand for both business and leisure travel as well as travel restrictions and border closures.
The only regional route impacted is Regina to Winnipeg.
Air Canada says there are diminishing prospects for a near-to-mid-term recovery and they expect the industry’s recovery to take a minimum of three years.
Officials say they will be looking at changes to schedules and further service suspensions over the coming weeks.
Air Canada reported a net loss of $1.05 billion in the first quarter of 2020.
