WestJet Cuts 6 More US Routes Amid Demand Slump

WestJet slashes additional routes to the United States, impacting six key connections as cross-border travel demand plummets. The carrier suspends services like Boston-Edmonton, Boston-Vancouver, and San Diego-Edmonton for summer 2026, part of a broader pullback that reduces full-year transborder capacity by nearly 10 percent. Canadians fly south less amid trade tensions, falling loonies, and "Buy Canadian" sentiment, with overall seats down 10.1 percent from 2025.
