Recent data from the travel data company OAG has indicated a significant decline in forward bookings between the United States and Canada. Bookings have dropped by as much as 75% in the coming months, hinting at a possible reduction in air travel demand.
Using forward booking data from a major global distribution system supplier, OAG reported this decrease when comparing March 2025 and March 2024 data. From April to September, bookings showed declines of up to 75.7% in some months.
"This sharp drop suggests that travellers are holding off on making reservations, likely due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding the broader trade dispute," a source familiar with the data noted. The findings align with earlier research by Leger, which indicated that "nearly half of Canadian travellers (48%) say they are less likely to visit the US in 2025 compared to last year."
