Bookings on flights from Canada to the US have dropped more than 70%, OAG found. WestJet said it's seeing demand shift to Europe and Mexico.

The article from MSN discusses how Canadian airlines are reducing their flight offerings to the United States due to a noticeable decline in demand from Canadian travelers. This trend is attributed to several factors including the strong U.S. dollar, which makes travel more expensive for Canadians, and a shift in travel preferences where Canadians are opting for domestic or other international destinations. Airlines like Air Canada and WestJet have responded by cutting back on the number of seats and flights to the U.S., with some routes seeing reductions of up to 20% in capacity. This adjustment reflects not only economic considerations but also changes in travel behavior post the global health crisis, where travelers are now more inclined towards destinations offering better value or unique experiences. Additionally, the article mentions that this reduction in flights could have broader implications for cross-border economic activities and tourism.
