Airlines Shift U.S. Routes: New Canada Nonstops Arrive While United Drops Six Cities
Porter and Air Canada add U.S.-to-Ontario flights for winter, while United has ended service to six destinations, according to two travel outlets.
TheTravel reported on Oct 9, 2026 that Porter and Air Canada are adding routes from Florida and the Midwest to Canada for the winter season. The new flights link U.S. cities with smaller airports in Ontario without a stop.
The notes do not list the exact routes, start dates or schedules. TheTravel says its article has a full list of the new flights.
Simple Flying reported the same day that United Airlines has cancelled all of its flights to six destinations. It says nearly all of these places lost United service in September and October.
Simple Flying adds that no other airline with scheduled passenger flights flies to as many places around the world as United does. The notes shared with us do not name the six places.
What it means for travelers
Travelers heading to Ontario this winter may find more direct choices, including to smaller airports that were harder to reach before. Anyone who planned to fly United to one of the six affected places will need another way to get there. Airline route lists change often, so it is worth checking before booking.
What to watch next
Check the airline websites for exact routes, dates and schedules before booking. If you hold a United ticket, confirm with the airline that your destination is still served.
