Air Canada updated its schedule this week and has pulled five routes to/from the United States from it. This is hardly surprising. I’ve written before about how demand was seriously dropping and how airlines like Delta and JetBlue have also chopped routes.
These flights will end over the next few months and in a sign that future bookings have dried up, these will not be operated this coming winter.
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) will drop flights to/from Tampa International Airport (TPA) and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). Tampa ends on November 4th and Washington Dulles drops on September 24th. Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) will lose Air Canada flights to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Indianapolis International Airport (IND), and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP). This is great news for Delta as it will offer the Detroit and Minneapolis flights without competition once these end on September 26th and October 19th. Indianapolis service is already done.
The Points Guy shared some insight from Mark Galardo, Air Canada’s Chief Commercial Officer. He said:
We saw a big shift in travel demand away from U.S. leisure destinations.”
Anthony’s Take: The drop in demand between the US and Canada is likely to continue as Canadians are taking their vacation dollars to the Caribbean, Europe, and elsewhere this year. I wanted to fly the Tampa route. Bummed on that loss.
