WestJet is cutting another route to the U.S., just weeks before it was scheduled to launch. The airline is blaming a lull in transborder demand.

An airline spokesperson confirmed on Saturday that Frontier will end all flights to one of its newest markets next month.

Viva Aerobus announced the addition of seven new international routes from Mexico City’s Felipe Ángeles International Airport.

Despite the headlines of a pilot hiring slowdown, there are still many available career opportunities for aspiring aviators. 

Frontier says it will reduce scheduled capacity for the second quarter of 2025 due to falling demand, becoming the latest U.S. airline to do so.

Spirit announced on Monday that several top executives, including long-time CEO Ted Christie, are departing the airline.

These market exits come just weeks after the ultra-low-cost airline announced plans to close its Los Angeles base after 16 years.

Since the start of operations in 2021, Avelo now serves 56 destinations, including a handful of international routes. The carrier plans to add more.

Last month, Air Canada revealed that it was proactively reducing capacity to popular leisure destinations in the U.S. in anticipation of reduced demand.

Ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit has reported a net loss of just under $1.23 billion for 2024, just weeks after exiting Ch. 11 bankruptcy.
