Air Canada Trims Five US Routes as Air France Plans Two New US Cities
Air Canada has dropped five US routes, while Air France will add Nashville and San Diego from Paris in May 2027, according to Simple Flying and AirlineGeeks.
Simple Flying reported on October 19, 2026 that Air Canada has cancelled five routes to the United States. The outlet says some of them operated for only a short time. The notes we have do not name the five routes, so check the airline's site for the full list.
Air Canada has more flights between Canada and the United States than any other airline, says Simple Flying. Dropping five routes is still a change for people who planned trips on them.
In a separate move, AirlineGeeks reports that Air France will add two US cities to its network next year. Flights will leave from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to San Diego and Nashville, Tennessee. The airline announced this on a Thursday in early October.
Air France says it will be the only airline offering nonstop flights from Paris to both cities. It also says it will be the only airline serving Nashville from continental Europe. The airline plans to serve 20 US destinations in summer 2027.
What it means for travelers
If you booked a US route with Air Canada, check that your flight still operates. Airlines often offer a change or a refund when they end a route, but the notes do not give details. If you want to fly from Europe to the US, Air France now offers two more nonstop choices from Paris.
What to watch next
Check your booking on the Air Canada website or app, and confirm Air France schedules and ticket sales with the airline before you plan a 2027 trip.
