Canadian travelers pull back on U.S. flights amid ongoing trade dispute

A notable shift in Canadian travel patterns has emerged as the trade war between the United States and Canada escalates. New data shows a dramatic decline in flight bookings from Canada to the U.S., with demand plummeting by over 70% for the upcoming summer. This sharp drop in bookings reflects growing uncertainty surrounding the trade dispute, border delays, and concerns over detention, leading many Canadians to seek alternative travel destinations.

Aviation data firm OAG reported that airline bookings from Canada to the U.S. have seen a drastic decline in recent months. Comparing booking data from last year with figures from this week, the decrease is stark. OAG’s analysis reveals that bookings for the summer months are down by more than 70%, with Canadians increasingly hesitant to make travel plans amid ongoing trade tensions. This shift in demand has prompted airlines to adjust their schedules and reduce capacity on U.S.-Canada routes.

The drop in travel demand has resulted in a significant reduction of seats on these routes. Airlines have removed approximately 320,000 seats through October, particularly affecting the peak summer months of July and August. OAG’s data highlights a 3.5% cut in capacity during these critical travel months. While some airlines, like Air Canada, report a less dramatic decline, the overall trend suggests that the trade dispute is having a far-reaching impact on cross-border travel.

Air Canada, the largest Canadian carrier, has acknowledged the booking decline but noted that the situation is not as severe as suggested by some reports. The airline has shifted some of its capacity to adapt to the market changes. However, the decline in U.S. travel is still noticeable. Canadians are increasingly redirecting their travel dollars elsewhere, opting for destinations beyond the U.S.

In addition to travel uncertainties, Canada recently updated its travel advisory, urging citizens to register with the U.S. government for stays longer than 30 days. This new requirement is adding another layer of complexity to cross-border travel.
