The investment bank noted that the airline\u2019s updated 2026 unit cost guidance came in higher than expected, suggesting continued pressure from wage inflation, maintenance expenses, and fuel volatility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"393\" data-end=\"869\">The aircraft delivery delays, particularly from Boeing are expected to constrain Air Canada\u2019s capacity expansion plans, limiting its ability to fully capitalize on strong travel demand in both domestic and transatlantic markets. While the airline continues to benefit from robust passenger volumes and improved yield management, JPMorgan believes these cost and supply chain challenges may slow margin recovery and moderate earnings growth through 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"1160\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Despite the downward revision, JPMorgan maintained a constructive long-term
