In January, the business said that by June, Haligonians would have yet another option for flying in and out of the U.S., but as President Donald Trump imposed tariffs and Canadians rallied against anything American, the airline is saying it will be delaying this change until 2026. “The current tariff environment and its impact on Canadian travel to the U.S. have created a challenging time for introducing a new U.S. carrier to the market,” it said in a press release. Part of the reason is that many Canadians have boycotted U.S. products, opting for a Canada-first approach, including their vacations.

All impacted customers will receive full refunds,” the statement notes. The business instead will launch the flights in summer 2026. “Non-stop flights between Halifax and Boston will continue to be offered by Air Canada’s daily, year-round service, and American Airlines’ weekly summer seasonal service,” the airline said. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post عبد الرحمن الراشد يكتب عن: ماذا لو عاش عبد الناصر؟ next post More affordable units coming to Cumberland County You may also like حظر الهاتف المحمول في مدارس كيبيك اعتباراً من... 2 مايو، 2025 تضاعُف نسبة الأميركيين الذين يعتبرون كندا أهم حليف... 2 مايو، 2025 أونتاريو: 223 إصابة جديدة بداء الحصبة خلال أسبوع 2 مايو، 2025 هيوستون ينتقد المحافظين الفدراليين وزعيمهم بواليافر 2 مايو، 2025 Customers’ personal information stolen during cybersecurity breach: Nova... 2 مايو، 2025 Gas prices in Nova Scotia decrease a bit... 2 مايو، 2025 Teen accused of threats against Halifax school facing... 2 مايو، 2025 Large drug bust after targeted traffic stop in... 2 مايو، 2025 MacKay to see partial closure Thursday ahead of... 2 مايو، 2025 Free parking to be offered at Nova Scotia’s... 2 مايو، 2025
