US-Canada flight demand plunges

The North America trade war is having a chilling effect on air travel demand.

Air travel demand between Canada and the US  has plummeted by more than 70%, says aviation analytics company OAG.

It could be a long-term issue too.

Big capacity cuts have been made throughout the summer until October 2025.

The biggest cuts to capacity are for the peak season months of July and August,

Bookings are down as much as 76%.

Seat capacity is about 320,000 seats fewer through to the end of October.

Some Canada travel agencies have also cited a lack of demand, and in many cases cancelations of existing bookings, for cruise vacations too.,
