In addition, the ability to fly over the border without restriction caused many to question the effectiveness of the policy. "Here at the border between Buffalo and Fort Erie, people have taken helicopter shuttles to fly into the U.S. to avoid the land-border travel ban," Wilson said. "People always ask how that makes sense. Why can someone fly into the U.S. but not drive across the border?"
He added that the opening of the land border with Canada and Mexico will not have a huge impact on cross-border business travel or for employers managing talent across the border because "you could always fly into the U.S. from Canada or Mexico, and those with approved U.S. work status could always enter by land."
