The suspension will last until April 30, 2021, said the prime minister. 

"They will be making arrangements with their customers who are currently on a trip in these regions to organize their return flights," he continued. 

Trudeau continued to thank the airlines for their leadership and for being "such strong partners in the fight to curb the spread of COVID-19 and its variants."

He said the government and the airlines agree that now is not the time to be flying.
