Airline Demand Between Canada & United States Collapses, Down 70%+

Wait, really?
So you need a visa to transit through the US?
Yes indeed. Everyone arriving goes through immigration, collects bags, clears customs; and only then may proceed to the exit, or recheck bags and go back through security to catch a connecting flight.
The only exception is if you originated at a pre-clearance airport and did the immigration stuff before departure. But that means you still need a visa. And it's only at a handful of airports in Canada, Ireland, UAE and the Caribbean.

On one hand, it is a lot of revenue lost. On the other, it's also a lot of resources freed up for Americans that would otherwise have been used by foreign tourists. As long as the supply remains the same and the demand drops, prices should get reduced as well. That's what people understand.
What they don't understand is that companies expect this to be temporary, and they'd rather have losses they can write off, rather than smaller profits that their investors will be upset about.
-
The international demand lost is well beyond what can be replaced with domestic demand. Tariffs are also going to keep prices high so even with a demand reduction that won't matter to a lot of the supply cost.
-
The taxes are one thing but less profit and less demand=jobs being cut which has downstream effects. Any smart company doesn't expect this to be short. Being advised against travel is not something that gets turned around easily.

What resources are Canadian tourists using that would otherwise go to Americans? I don’t feel deprived of flights to Ottawa…

I'm genuinely struggling to see where this is really a bad thing.
It depends on how much you value a stable economy.
To his point, an unstable economyis also what they voted for. Some might have been too stupid to comprehend their actions, but it is exacy what they chose.

The US side is bleak industrial wasteland.
Canadian side has so many tourist traps

The girlfriend and I (both Canadian in Canada) were just planning a summer trip to Niagara Falls like 30 minutes ago. Neither of us have been. We were looking at flights and didn't realize we were looking at flights to Niagara Falls airport in the US. We were both like "Whoa. Nope!"
If this had been last year, we would have flown into either airport and visited both sides of the border. But there is not a chance in hell I'm crossing to the US side during this trip. I'm absolutely not taking a chance of wrecking my vacation, or weeks of my life, getting nabbed by some Nazi Ice Bro and shipped to a detention camp in Arizona.

Why would I travel to hostile enemy country?

If you think about it, these are government announcements, it's just over two months since the excrement started hitting the rotating equipment.
In that time a country needs to take note of the change in circumstances to its citizens, verify that it's happening systemically and not occasionally, formulate a response, approve the response, and then publish it.
Much of the border issues didn't appear to be visible until a month or so ago.
In other words, I think that this is lightening fast as diplomatic responses go.
Likely because these motions were put in place after the first Trump term.

It appears that these countries now have some form of warning associated with travelling to the USA:
- Australia
- Belgium
- Canada
- Denmark
- Finland
- Germany
- Ireland
- Netherlands
- New Zealand
- United Kingdom
realistically it's also dangerous to travel to the US if you're in the US

No please don’t come, and tell everyone, your friends or family who has plans to come to America to not come at least for 4 years.

US allies? I don't see Russia on the list.
As a UK citizen, we know there's a difference between the government and the people. You definitely have a serious problem, but you've not been abandoned. We have issues with Trump and his cronies, not the people of America.
We might be a bit stumped on what we can actually do to help, but you're not alone.

Did you accidentally reply to wrong comment? I'm not American.

I'm afraid it's going to be a lot longer than 4 years.

Dang… and you know what, you are probably a thousand percent correct.

I'm a UK citizen as well, and I totally 1000% have issues with most of the US people.
Specifically the people who voted for cunt face tRUMP, and also the people who didn't vote at all.
All of those are also to blame for the bullshit that's happening now, not just that disgusting orange bag of pig shit. -

Hostile third world country

Have we seen the Canadian airline companies jack up national flight prices like how the big grocers are jacking up Canadian product prices or nah?

The town of Niagara Falls is a bit of a shithole.
