Air Canada suspends commercial flights to U.S.

Air Canada is suspending all commercial flights to the United States until May 22nd.  The suspension will take effect on April 27th.  In a release on its website, the airline says the decision has been made following the federal government’s decision to extend border restriction s by another 30 days.  The airline is waiving change fees for customers with flights booked during this time so they can reschedule at no charge.
