Southwest Pulls Out of Bellingham
Southwest Airlines is ending operations at BLI at the beginning of August. This is a popular airport not only for the region but also for British Columbians who cross the border to access cheaper fares on U.S. domestic flights. With Southwest gone, this just leaves one destination with Alaska (SeaTac) and a handful of cities with Allegiant.

What are the chances that an airline like Avelo would enter the market? e.g. BLI-BUR?

I saw this news this morning and I was wondering if BLI or specifically WN are seeing lower number of Canadian travellers using the airport. I assume that the weak Canadian dollar is not helping things on that front and in terms of the destinations that WN offered n/s out of BLI, I would imagine that LAS was the one that attracted the most passengers to cross the border to BLI.
