Canadian airlines are responding to escalating U.S.-Canada trade tensions by adjusting their marketing and capacity strategies, with Porter Airlines halting U.S.-bound promotions and Air Canada reducing capacity in certain U.S. leisure markets, while Flair Airlines pivots to promote non-U.S. destinations. American Express announced plans to acquire the expense management startup Center, aiming to build its own platform that leverages Center’s technology and talent to automate accounting tasks and offer real-time spending insights. Meanwhile, IndiGo is set to launch its first long-haul routes from Delhi to Amsterdam and Manchester in July using Boeing 787-9 aircraft, reflecting the growing international influence of Indian airlines.
