Airlines have cut the seats in the United States while Canadians stay away

Airlines must reorganize their plans before the tip of the summer travel season while Canadians avoid travel in the United States in the middle of a growing trade war between the two neighbors.

A basic effort of Canadians to boycott everything that is American – American grocery products and alcohol in tourist hot spots – had already sparked alarms in the United States travel industry, which warned against losses of several billion dollars.

Now, about two months since President Trump took office and launched an attack on Canada’s economy and his sovereignty, the fallout from the resulting anger of Canadians.

Canadian airlines eliminate tens of thousands of seats in the United States in April, a peak period when Canadians go to warmer destinations. Discounts vary from 7% by Air Canada to 25% by Flair Airlines, an airline at a reduced price, according to Visual Approach Analytics, a research company on aviation.

“We see that Canadians reserve themselves from the United States,” said Courtney Miller, founder and general manager of Visual Approach Analytics. “Canadian airlines feel this effect disproportionately.”

Travel agencies, in response, also change the way they announce flight packages.

“We have completely ceased to promote the United States due to consumers’ backlash,” said Flemming Friisdahl, managing director of the travel agent next door, a Canadian company with 1,500 travel agents in its network.
