Canadians are still avoiding trips to the US; perhaps not keen to risk being shot by masked, untrained morons roaming the streets.
Canadian airlines are continuing to operate fewer trans-border flights to the US this winter, news hub Travel Mole reports.
Canadian carriers have been cutting back on US flights and shifting capacity to other vacation destinations as US President Donald Trump continues to threaten friends and allies alike.
The airlines 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 low-cost carrier 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.
