Air Canada announced on Friday that the airline is suspending select U.S.-bound flights as jet fuel prices continue to skyrocket in the wake of the Iran war.
The cuts, set to take effect this summer and last at least five months, will impact all service to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City and the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) in Utah, the airline said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Air Canada will suspend service to New York’s JFK International airport over the summer as the war in Iran creates jet fuel shortages that have sent prices soaring.
Canada’s flag carrier said Friday that service from Toronto and Montreal to JFK will cease June 1 and resume Oct. 25. Service to the New York metropolitan area’s two other airports — LaGuardia and Newark — will continue. Air Canada offers 34 flights a day to those two airports from six Canadian cities.

Airlines cut routes in response to rising jet fuel costs amid Iran war
Airlines are cutting routes this summer as they face rising jet fuel costs amid the Iran war.
Air Canada, Delta, and other airlines said Friday that certain routes will be impacted.
"The spike in oil prices is big news in general and the impact on jet fuel prices is pronounced," Stephen Rooney, lead economist at Tourism Economics, told CBS News. "Jet fuel is a huge cost for airlines, especially on longer-haul flights."
Airlines pre-sold tickets based on expectations that fuel costs would remain relatively stable. Rooney expects them to cancel some flights based on rising fuel costs. Jet fuel prices have doubled since the war began on Feb. 28, raising costs for airlines. Jet fuel typically accounts for roughly 25% to 30% of overall costs, according to industry analysts.
