WestJet, Air Canada & United Cut Back Canada-US Routes

As Canadian visits to the U.S. continue to fall, three major North American airlines are dropping planned cross-border routes between large cities and cutting back on frequency for other Canada-USA flights.

As Canadian air traffic to the U.S. fell 13% in February, Ishrion Aviation reports WestJet will not move forward with its planned Calgary-Laguardia route.

The website simpleflying.com reports the change was flagged by Ishrion Aviation and affirmed by data from Cirium Aviation Analytics.

The seasonal itinerary, which was supposed to begin with one flight per week on 24MAY and end 30AUG, 2025, would have complemented WestJet’s daily flights from YYC to JFK.
