If they’re cancelling flights for maintenance reasons, that suggests they aren’t doing the regular scheduled maintenance they’re supposed to be doing.
That alone is reason not to fly with them.
They’re willing to lie and tell everyone that they didn’t bother maintaining their planes. Not the lie I’d go with as a company flying these things just to get out of less profitable flights.
I’ve been on a few rural flights in Northern Ontario. I can totally see why they’d cancel low population flights. I imagine fuel consumption at cruising speed is reasonable, but takeoff and landing cannot be fuel efficient, and those flights last like 30mins. It’s likely not even actually worth the fuel cost, but a requirement put on them by our Govt (as they should, obviously).
Be pretty interested to see the profitablity break down for those flights.

In rural areas, Air Canada will cancel the 2 morning flights so that they can send a full flight in the evening. Too many missed connections
