(Trinidad Guardian) Just three months after announcing a resumption in service to Trinidad, Montreal-based airline Air Canada has now suspended the route indefinitely. In a statement to Guardian Media on Tuesday, the airline said, “Air Canada has currently suspended service between Toronto and Port of Spain for 2023. At this point in time, we have no plans for the resumption of this route.”
Passengers holding existing tickets have reportedly been contacted and offered either to change their ticketed destination or offered refunds. On May 25th, 2023 Air Canada announced it would resume flying to Piarco International Air-port up four times weekly using its Airbus A220-300 fleet. Tourism Trinidad also welcomed the announcement on June 17th, saying in a media release it was great news for “travelers and for the tourism industry.”
