Europe freezes US travel as Lufthansa, British, Air France, KLM and more slash routes to major US cities to tap soaring demand across Canada, Mexico, Brazil and the Caribbean
European airlines are freezing their transatlantic growth and pulling back from major U.S. cities like New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago as they redirect flights to Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Caribbean, where bookings are rising and demand is outpacing the American market.
Remember when travel bans were put on certain countries because 'terrorism'? I feel like we should put USA on that travel ban list for the security of European citizens.
Around a dozen so far, warning people that they might be arrested and deported even with a valid visa. And that trans people basically shouldn't go at all.
that made sense tho. travel bans reduce the amount of people who would need to be rescued by their own governments. given US treatment of travellers into or passing the US, it would make sense for other countries to issue bans as well to reduce the amount of their own citizens needing rescue from the USA
This headline sucks. I thought this was going to be something regulatory, but it’s just businesses making decisions based on their demand forecasts.
I wouldn’t want to travel to the US for anything other than business needs right now either, so as demand has dropped the airlines need to refocus on routes that are increasing in demand. This is basic business acumen.
Naw, it’s a pretty bad headline. It specifically says “Europe freezes US travel”, when travel hasn’t been frozen and Europe as-a-whole didn’t do anything. “European airlines adjust US flight schedules due to reduced demand” would be more accurate.
Theres reports of increase in visits from Asia, and down from europe. In the end its total number of visitors that count and for now i dont think this hurts so much
