Virgin America cancel Toronto California route

Virgin America's foray into Canada apparently will be short-lived.

The San Francisco-based carrier would cancel flights between Toronto's Pearson International Airport and Los Angeles and San Francisco on April 6, according to the National Post of Toronto.

with Virgin America out of the market, Axelrod says Air Canada's fares have risen to more than CDN$600 for that itinerary.

Virgin America serve Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) with daily flights from California's West Coast starting June 23, 2010.

"We would like to thank the Toronto airport and community for supporting us," Virgin America Vice President of Planning and Sales Diana Walke says in a press release. "We hope to return to YYZ (Toronto) at some point, but in the smaller Toronto-West Coast markets we were not able to stimulate demand as quickly as we would have liked."

Virgin America flies to San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, Boston, Orange County (ends May 26), Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando florida.
