With the passage of hurricane Irma, Air Canada is resuming normal operations to affected destinations. Full service to Florida will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017, and regularly scheduled flights have started to operate to most Caribbean destinations.

The company continues to monitor the situation to assess where additional capacity or flights may be required, and the company's intent is to accommodate all customers wishing to travel. Additionally, a goodwill policy remains in effect for customers to delay or change flights without charge.

Florida

Preparations are under way to resume Air Canada's full schedule to Florida on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017. (An Air Canada Express flight will operate to Jacksonville, Fla., on Sept. 12, 2017.) This includes service to Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, as well as the next regularly scheduled flights to Fort Myers on Friday, Sept. 15, 2017, and Sarasota, on Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017.

Customers are advised that aircraft are very full on outgoing flights from Florida and, while Air Canada is adding additional capacity, space may be limited initially. However, Air Canada is committed to add extra capacity in order to transport customers who wish to travel.

Cuba

Air Canada is resuming service to Havana on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017. Other destinations in Cuba remain cancelled, with plans to resume services to most destinations in the coming days, subject to the safety and security of airports and infrastructure. The airports serving Cayo Coco and Santa Clara are presently closed until Sept. 25, 2017.
