WestJet CEO Says Demand For Flights To US Have Dropped By 25% Since Trump Threatened Tariffs
WestJet reports a 25% drop in US travel demand, citing tariff and currency issues. The airline adapts with a $120M aviation facility in Calgary.
According to Calgary-based WestJet, demand for flights to the US has significantly decreased. The airline attributes the downturn to rising tensions between Canada and its southern neighbor as trade disputes and tariffs increase, according to Canada's CTV News.
