Alaska Airlines has announced the cancellation of dozens of daily flights due to delays caused by tariffs. The Seattle-based airline was expecting two Embraer 175 regional jets for its partner, Horizon Air. However, a 10% tariff on imports from Brazil has delayed the delivery of these planes.
Because of this delay, Alaska Airlines has had to change its regional flight schedule. This affects flights across the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, California, and parts of Western Canada. The situation shows how trade barriers are creating challenges for the aviation industry. Tariffs not only slow down operations but also increase costs for airlines.
This disruption highlights the broader impact tariffs have on airlines, making it harder for them to maintain efficient and reliable services.
