WestJet Halts Nine US Routes as Canadians Fly Elsewhere

WestJet is suspending nine routes between Canada and the US due to lower demand.

The Canadian airline’s service from Vancouver to Austin — a new route that was originally slated to start next week — is now on hold until October. Other previously popular cross-border flights, including routes to Orlando, Los Angeles and Chicago, have been halted for various periods between June and August, spokesperson Josh Yeats told Bloomberg News.
