Airline Capacity Cuts: Air Canada Gets in on the "Fun"

June 17, 2008 at 4:45 PM | 0 Comments

After today's announcement that Virgin America would trim its domestic capacity, Air Canada decided to announce its own cuts. The airline plans to shed 13 percent of its flights between Canada and the US.

But domestic flights in Canada, apparently, are still super-popular:

Domestic routes will be trimmed by 2 percent, reflecting the relative strength of the Canadian economy and travel demand despite high oil prices, spokeswoman Angela Mah [told Reuters]

The cuts will also leave 2,000 people without jobs. Maybe they should send their resumes to high-flyin' AirAsia?
