Air Canada has confirmed that it has cancelled its service to San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) for the Winter 2017/2018 season. The airline had previously suspended service indefinitely, due to the impact Hurricane Maria had on the island’s airport and infrastructure.
Agents will receive schedule change notifications for their clients and Air Canada has provided guidelines for reprotecting impacted travellers.
Customers booked on Air Canada’s Montreal-San Juan or Toronto-San Juan flights, agents are required to reprotect travellers on one of the following…
- United Airlines via Newark (EWR), Houston (IAH) or Chicago (ORD)

Puerto Rico was hit hard by Hurricane Maria, with the US territory losing all power and communications following the storm and many airlines suspended service to the island. Air Transat recently announced that it would restart its service to San Juan with one flight per week from each of Montreal and Toronto, effective February 18, 2018.
Please review the Schedule Change policy on the Agent Reference tab on Air Canada’s agent website.
