WestJet cuts service to 10 U.S. cities as demand continues to drop [View all]

WestJet is dropping flights between Canadian airports and 10 U.S. cities after a significant decline in demand last year.

The reductions in scheduled service include five routes out of Vancouver International Airport — to Tampa, Nashville, Boston, San Diego and San Francisco.

“We saw a notable decline in transborder travel demand throughout 2025,” said WestJet spokesperson Julia Kaiser.

As a result, we made timely decisions to modify our network to stay aligned with where Canadians want to go, reducing our full year transborder flying by close to 10 per cent, with a 15 per cent reduction in what were historically peak travel times for the U.S.”
