WestJet cuts service to 10 U.S. cities as demand continues to drop

WestJet is dropping flights between Canadian airports and 10 U.S. cities after a significant decline in demand last year.

The reductions in scheduled service include five routes out of Vancouver International Airport — to Tampa, Nashville, Boston, San Diego and San Francisco.

“We saw a notable decline in transborder travel demand throughout 2025,” said WestJet spokesperson Julia Kaiser.

As a result, we made timely decisions to modify our network to stay aligned with where Canadians want to go, reducing our full year transborder flying by close to 10 per cent, with a 15 per cent reduction in what were historically peak travel times for the U.S.”

We are becoming a pariah nation.
You did this.

Not just the orange beast, but every one of the Republicans who bend the knee and remain silent.
The GOP and the Billionaires are the problem.

Sharp guy, being diplomatic as he must, but he's confident this demand will return eventually. My guess is 3 more years...
