Air Canada Reaps The Benefit Of The 'Trump Slump' In U.S. Travel
Recent data indicates that the United States is experiencing a sharp decline in international visitors in 2025. While the fall is seen from visitors flying in from many countries, including the U.K., it is particularly pronounced along the land border with Canada. Conversely, Canada's tourism industry has been flourishing, with many visitors opting for the country as an alternative to the U.S. According to a study by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the U.S. is the only country among 184 to project a decline in foreign visitor spending for 2025. This is in part likely due to several news stories reported worldwide of tourists being detained and deported after the new stricter immigration and travel policies. Potential visitors have cited a feeling of unease about visiting the US, even if they have all the correct paperwork. U.K. residents make up the largest number of overseas visitors to the U.S., with 3.9 million a year. In April 2025, The Guardian reported that the number of U.K. residents visiting the U.S. decreased by 14.3% in March 2025 compared to the same month in 2024. However, the WTTC projects Canada's travel and tourism sector will reach record levels this year, with a strong domestic market and a steady recovery in international travelers. Canadian travel overseas outside the U.S. has also seen an increase as well as domestic travel. August 2025 is projected to see the highest number of Europe to Canada flights on record equating to over 1.2 million seats. Flights between Europe and Canada are up 5% on August 2024 levels, while flights are also up 14% compared to pre-pandemic (August 2019) according to aviation analytics firm Cirium.

Date: Dec 19, 2021 getty Canada's flag carrier, Air Canada, has spurred this market expansion, adding the highest number of Europe-Canada summer flights year-on-year. The airline has added an additional 112 flights from Europe to Canada this August versus the same period in 2024 - equating to over 34,500 extra one-way seats during the month. Air Canada's peak August schedule between Europe and Canada is 8% larger than August 2024. As well as increasing frequencies to established destinations, the airline has also introduced five new transatlantic routes: Edinburgh to Montréal Trudeau London Heathrow to Ottawa Naples to Montréal Trudeau Prague to Toronto-Pearson Porto to Montréal Trudeau 'Canada is seeing strong interest from travellers in our target overseas markets, especially from the UK. Guests from Europe and the UK are particularly attracted to Canada's awe-inspiring landscapes and culturally rich experiences, as well as the country's reputation of being safe and welcoming,' said Meaghan Ferrigno, Senior Vice President, CFO and Chief Data & Analytics Officer, Destination Canada. The United Kingdom has been Air Canada's top-performing European market this year, with travel interest from the U.K. to Canada remaining above historical levels. This is reflected in the 7% increase in air arrivals from the U.K. to Canada in June 2025 compared to the same time last year. Air Canada's refurbished Maple Leaf Lounge London Heathrow Airport.

The lounge features a staffed bar for cocktails and drinks as well as showers. Travelers can also use the Star Alliance arrival lounge when arriving at Heathrow airport on Air Canada. The changes are part of a broader plan to improve the airline's lounges by adding nine new lounges, renovating eight, and increasing lounge capacity by 43 per cent.

The first deliveries are expected in early 2026. With a focus on more premium seats, the aircraft will feature a new layout, which is likely to include a business plus product from the layouts shared at its investor day.

Birmingham Airport responds as holidaymakers fume over cancelled flights
Birmingham Airport passengers were left "furious" when at least 25 flights were cancelled at the Midlands travel hub yesterday. One holidaymaker claimed they had no choice but to pay for a £126 taxi home after the airport closed its runway for six hours following an emergency landing. The runway closed when a Beech B200 Super King Air was forced to make an emergency landing at around 1.40pm. READ MORE: Inside operation to save Ozzy Osbourne Birmingham shrine as family given keepsakes Three people on board the small aircraft were checked over by paramedics but, luckily, no-one was seriously injured. The plane was bound for Belfast before it returned to BHX to make an emergency landing. The runaway reopened shortly before 8pm - but some holidaymakers were left furious after their flights were cancelled. Fie, writing on her X account last night, said: "Furious. Travelling since 8.30am this morning from Turkey, we were diverted to Liverpool then promised a coach back three hours later. "Hundreds of people still waiting. Had to just pay £126 for a taxi home." Colin Russel, tagging BHX, wrote on X: "I'm sorry, but you really need to learn from this. "I'm not sure what your procedures are. But, they are lacking. Six hours waiting for then the plane to be cancelled, with no info." Matty Bennett, writing on X, said: "Absolute joke. Six hours [just] to cancel our flight 30 mins after reopen." BHX passenger Ali Abbas said he missed his connection flight from Istanbul to Baghdad. "My wife and kids who travelled a day earlier are waiting for me there," he wrote on X. "I've missed an important day of pilgrimage in Iraq which I was to co-lead a group for. Devastated!" X user '@SpursSingh', venting at BHX, said: "You guys have no clue how families have struggled today. "Six hours with young kids at the airport for you to cancel the flight and then reopen the runway as we were walking out." BHX updated passengers just before 8pm last night to let them know the runway had reopened. It said it understood holidaymakers' frustrations and apologised for the disruption. A spokesperson for BHX said: "Our teams have worked as quickly as possible, in line with strict protocols, which must be followed to ensure a safe reopening of the runway following a prolonged closure.' The airport said the runway was closed for six hours due to "strict procedures that must be followed" to ensure a safe reopening. "In particular, once the welfare of individuals is ensured, there is a regulatory and lawful need to record and preserve evidence," BHX added. "This is then followed by the safe recovery of the aircraft, clearance of any debris and checks on the condition of the runway surfaces and lighting prior to it coming back into operational use. "The aircraft required lifting due to the damaged undercarriage and that required specialist airbags and jacks, alongside the airline's engineer who attended prior to it being removed from the runway." Some flights will be "affected" today, the airport said, however most flights will operate "normally".
