Canadian airlines are continuing operating fewer transborder flights to the US this winter.
Canadian airlines are cutting back on US flights and shifting capacity to other vacation destinations.
They are also ramping up coast to coast domestic services as Canadians stay at home.
A new update by OAG finds about 10% fewer seats available in the first quarter of 2026.
That equates to about 450,000 fewer seats overall.
This capacity decrease is mainly from Canadian airlines although US carriers are also cutting capacity.
WestJet is trimming nearly 20% of US seat capacity while LCC Flair Airlines has slashed US capacity by more than half.
The flight cuts mostly impact winter sun leisure routes to Las Vegas and multiple Florida destinations.
Canadian airlines are instead beefing up flight schedules to Mexico and the Caribbean.
Data recently released by Visit Florida showed a double digit decline in visitor numbers from Canada for the third quarter of 2025.
