TORONTO — Aeroflot will discontinue its Toronto-Moscow service later this month but it has nothing to do with the Canadian government’s support of ******* in its dispute with ******, according to the carrier.

The route, which began this past spring, was not profitable, according to ******* officials and the three-times weekly service will end Oct. 26.

Sanctions placed on ****** by Canada likely cut the number of business travellers on the route.
