Elected officials across Quebec are denouncing Air Canada's decision to indefinitely suspend several regional travel routes in the province. Gaspé Mayor Daniel Côté said with Air Canada no longer serving the Gaspé airport, visitors to the region now have the sole option of a more than 10-hour drive. Coté said his major concern is for people travelling for business, and he hopes another airline will be able to fill the void left by Air Canada. "It's terrible, but it's not a surprise for me," said Sept-Îles Mayor Réjean Porlier, who added air travel in the regions serves the market, not individual customers. Quebec Transportation Minister François Bonnardel told Radio-Canada he's working with Air Canada and other airline partners to find a solution to best serve Quebecers.
