Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier Flair Airlines is cancelling multiple routes to the United States. The move comes during a tumultuous time in U.S.–Canada relations.
As noted by Ishrion Aviation, Flair Airlines is cutting three routes between Canada and the U.S.
After its last roundtrip on March 6, 2025, Flair will cease flying between Toronto Pearson International Airport and Nashville International Airport.
As of April 7, 2025, Flair will also be cancelling its routes from Calgary International Airport and Edmonton International Airport to Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport.
The Edmonton-based carrier faced competition from WestJet on all three routes. Air Canada also flies between Toronto and Nashville.
Flair will also be moving up its suspension of four routes from late April to early April:
Since the Trump administration in the United States began threatening sweeping tariffs on Canadian imports, many Canadians have begun reconsidering their American travel plans. Air travel demand between the longtime allies and neighbours has traditionally been very strong, but the recent political environment has had an impact on the travel industry.
As reported by The Canadian Press, leisure bookings to American cities dropped 40% year-over-year in February, according to travel agency Flight Centre Travel Group Canada. The Trump administration’s tariffs came into effect on March 4, 2025.
Flair’s route cuts came amid this challenging environment. Last month, Air Canada revealed that it was proactively reducing capacity to popular leisure destinations in the U.S. in March in anticipation of reduced demand.
