US EditionWestJet suspending nine cross-border routes for the summer
- WestJet is suspending nine cross-border routes between Canada and the United States for parts of the summer of 2025.
- The suspension follows reduced travel demand linked to U.S. Tariffs and fewer Canadians choosing to visit the United States.
- Affected routes include flights from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, St. John’s, Kelowna, and Winnipeg to U.S. Cities such as Austin, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
- In March 2025, trips by Canadian residents to the U.S. Dropped 13.5 percent year-over-year to 719,500, while land border crossings fell more than 22 percent compared to March 2024.
- WestJet said it will keep evaluating schedules and remain open to restoring direct routes as demand changes amid ongoing trade tensions.
