Low travel interest in the United States leads to the suspension of Western flights from YLW

Canadian air travelers have started losing their interest in flights south of the border, and now air transport companies are completely withdrawing flights.

Travel expert Claire New Delive explains all the four Canadian airlines that make flights to flights to the United States

“Air Canada, Westjet, Portjet and Flair have changed its schedule, at least in the summer. They still go to most American destinations, but at the lowest capacity,” Newel said.

The ongoing trade war between Canada and the United States not only escalates from tensions, but it also puts the brakes on the border travel, specifically from Canada to the United States

“What we see is that the front reservations are really changing. In fact, anything is American public, places that are very popular at this time of the year, and now we are witnessing a significant decrease in attention,” Newel said.

This retreat led Westtit to suspend selected flights at Kelona International Airport (YLW).

“Westjet has stopped Seattle’s service for April and this service will continue in May, at this time. Westjet has also completed the Las Vegas service that we have to the United States early.”

Meanwhile, YLW flights inside Canada are high.

“Local travel has increased significantly, in addition to the seats. The seat capacity will escalate this summer by 10 percent compared to last year, so this is good news. And the results so far, we have already witnessed an increase of 15 percent in travel and demand locally,” Elche’s said.

However, Claire New Warms that if the commercial conflict escalates, travelers may see more changes on flight schedules, including the possibility of smaller planes or less flights. “It may be a change in the plane, and the choice of a smaller plane to serve the destination. This frequency may mean less,” she says.

The political climate and the influence of US President Donald Trump also affects travel perceptions. ABACUS data poll revealed that 66 percent of Canadians feel that the current situation made the United States a less attractive travel destination.
