Air Canada stock drops after carrier cuts summer schedule

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Jun 30, 2022 3:50 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Air Canada‘s stock fell seven per cent in early morning trading after the carrier announced major cuts to its summer flight schedule.

The Montreal-based airline said Wednesday night it will nix more than 15 per cent of its flights in July and August as airports face lengthy delays and cancellations amid an overwhelming travel resurgence.

The move will see 154 flights per day on average dropped from the airline’s schedule– already operating at just 80 per cent of pre-pandemic levels– affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers.

Air Canada shares fell $1.27 or 7.4 per cent to $15.80 Thursday morning before rebounding slightly.
