Air Transat was, for a long time, the second biggest airline in Canada. It was eventually surpassed by Porter.

Its biggest market was, for a long time, Florida. Over the years, it became various south destinations like Cancun, the West coast of Mexico, Punta Cana, along with direct flights to Lyon, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Paris that are still extremely popular.

Today, Air Transat announced a shutdown of its flight to Florida. There is simply not enough demand anymore.

If you want to know why the US is losing about 10 to 15 billion a year from Canadian tourism, you have your answer...

Transat used to have 300 flights to the US from March to June. Soon it will have zero. Big thanks to Trump ;)

Market forces at work. Go someplace else where they will appreciate your business.

Trump very stupidly has caused significant damage to many states and industries with some very stupid policies. However the 40% that still support him are even stupider.
