Some of Canada’s major airlines have made changes to their schedules, including pausing some flights between Canada and the United States and increasing domestic flights in the wake of lower demand to fly south, which may be tied to the tariff war between the two countries.
“The airline industry on both sides of the border has seen a very substantial dip in demand, primarily from Canadian travellers,” said Ryan Ewing, founder of the airline blog AirlineGeeks.com, in a video interview with CTVNews.ca on Friday.
He said he believes the decrease in demand is because Canadians are turned off by U.S. President Donald Trump’s rhetoric, such as pushing the idea of making Canada the 51st state, as well as the ongoing tariff battle.
