Canadian airlines reduce US flights due to demand drop
Canadian airlines are cutting back on flights to the US due to a drop in demand and rising trade tensions. Air Canada reduced its US flights by 7%, and Flair Airlines cut its flights by 25%. This is happening during a busy travel time in April. Travel agencies in Canada are shifting focus away from US destinations, directing customers instead to Europe. The changes come alongside new US regulations requiring Canadians staying over 30 days to register with authorities, which has created uncertainty for travelers. United Airlines is also responding to the lower number of Canadian travelers. It has canceled a planned route between Toronto and Los Angeles and will reduce flights to Canada. Experts say ongoing trade tensions and new travel policies may further influence travel patterns. Indian travelers from Canada may need to rethink their plans. Fewer flights and new scrutiny at border crossings could cause delays. Additionally, the lower demand may affect ticket prices and availability for trips to the US.
