ATLANTA — Air Canada says the United States’ insistence that the carrier cancel all of its season-long sports charter flights would wreak havoc on the upcoming professional hockey and basketball seasons if it is upheld. Teams could have difficulty playing back-to-back games in the U.S. if they are forced to return to their home country between each game.
The Transportation Department claims the sports charters violate U.S. law because they last an entire season and sometimes involve travel between U.S. cities rather than just between one point in Canada and one point in the U.S.
