Airlines Slash Flights as Jet Fuel Costs Surge, Squeezing Travellers and Markets

  Airlines Slash Flights as Jet Fuel Costs Surge Canadian travellers are facing fewer flight options and higher fares as jet fuel prices spike to multi‑year highs , forcing Air Canada and Air Transat to cut capacity across key routes. The surge in fuel costs is tied directly to the ongoing Iran conflict , which has disrupted global oil flows and pushed energy markets into another period of volatility. Air Transat is reducing service to Europe and the Caribbean, while Air Canada is suspending several regional and international routes it now considers unprofitable. For consumers, this means higher ticket prices, more crowded flights, and fewer choices heading into the summer travel season . Impact on the Economy and Inflation Airlines passing fuel costs to passengers adds fresh pressure to Canada’s already‑stubborn inflation outlook. Travel inflation — which had been easing — is now expected to rise again, complicating the Bank of Canada’s path toward rate cuts. Higher travel costs a...

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

There is precious little you won’t be able to do this year, so think big, aim high and don’t settle for less than perfection either in your personal affairs or in your work. Show those who doubt you that you are still a force to be reckoned with.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You don’t have to be sociable if you don’t feel like it. Saturn in one of the more introverted areas of your chart suggests you may be happier if left to your own devices today. You will be more in the mood for fun and games later in the week.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

If you are the sort of Taurus who always likes to be in control the next 24 hours could be a little uncomfortable. You are not the only one with a stubborn streak and someone you deal with at home or at work won’t give you an inch.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You have worked so hard of late that you deserve a break, so slow down and take life at a more leisurely pace. Social activities will be a lot of fun but they could also be tiring, so be choosy about the events you grace with your presence.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Artistic activities will go well for you over the next few days but they will go even better if you join forces with people who share your creative vision. The universe doesn’t want you to be a recluse shut away alone in your studio.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

This could be and should be one of the best times of the year for you and with Mars moving through your sign what you get out of life will be in direct proportion to what you choose to put in – so choose to give 100 per cent.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

The more you are on the move the more you will enjoy yourself, so stop pretending that you cannot spare the time to get out and about and head off some place special to have fun with your friends. There is romance in the air as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Money matters should go well for you between now and the end of the week, so stop worrying that you won’t be able to make ends meet and act as if you know your needs will be met – and, miraculously, most of them will be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Whatever you turn your hand to over the next few days will go amazingly well, so aim high and don’t listen to those who say you could be biting off more than you can chew. The more you expect from life the more life will give you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Everyone can see that you are super confident but those who know you best also recognize that you sometimes go to extremes. The message of the stars today is that you need to tone down your act a bit – but only a bit, don’t stifle your genius!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Your horizons may seem limited at the moment but that is an illusion caused by the constant negativity you’ve been getting from other people. Find a quiet place where you can be alone with your thoughts and reaffirm your life’s purpose. Then really go for it!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You are determined to make your mark on the world and if that means you have to deal harshly with people who stand in your way then so be it. Make it clear you mean business now and you will get a lot less opposition in the future.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Others can sit around waiting for things to happen if they so choose but you must get off your rear end, get your act together and get busy making a name for yourself. With so many cosmic influences now in your favor you cannot afford to be lazy.
