Air Canada has cancelled multiple scheduled flights to and from London after the U.K. closed its airspace to Boeing 737 Max 8s, the type of plane involved in last weekend's deadly crash in Ethiopia. Air Canada Flight 860 was scheduled to leave Halifax on Tuesday night, bound for London's Heathrow Airport. But early Tuesday afternoon, Air Canada changed the status of the flight on its website, showing it is now cancelled.
