Hubs in popular sun destinations, like Palm Beach International Airport and Orlando International Airport in Florida, have been hit particularly hard, seeing double-digit decreases in incoming seat capacity.
It also suspended a daily year-round Kelowna-Seattle route that just started at the beginning of the year, ended Kelowna-Las Vegas service earlier than planned, and most recently cut Calgary-Chicago and Calgary-Los-Angeles flights "for various periods between June and August."
"We have made some capacity reductions on certain U.S. sun routes, but we continue to serve all the destinations we had planned.
We continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as necessary," a spokesperson told us over email this week.
Porter also took things a step further, proactively easing up on its promotion of American flights amid waning interest, and for fear that "some Canadians may view this negatively."
