"Airline travel between Canada and the US is “collapsing” amid Donald Trump’s
tariff war, with flight bookings between the two countries down by over 70%,
newly released data suggests.
According to data from the aviation analytics company OAG, airline capacity
between Canada and the US has been reduced through October 2025, with the
biggest cuts occurring between the months of July and August, which is
considered peak travel season. Passenger bookings on Canada to US routes are
currently down by over 70% compared to the same period last year.
Comparing the available bookings from March 2024 to March 2025, OAG looked at
how many people have booked trans-border flights in the six-month period
between April through September. It found that the number of tickets booked was
down anywhere from 71% to 76%.
Total capacity available for passengers on flights between the two countries
has also seen a reduction, likely a response to decreasing demands. The data
shows that more than 320,000 seats have been removed by airlines operating
between the two countries through to the end of October, with the highest cuts,
3.5%, also occurring during the peak summer months.
But the steep decline suggests that the current capacity cuts do not even begin
to cover the current disinterest in traveling to the US."
