Flighthub: Canadians travelling less in January and February 2026 compared with last year
Latest news on WhatsApp أجدد الأخبار على واتسابNew data from online travel agency Flighthub suggests Canadians are travelling less in the post holiday period, with departures in January and February down about 36% compared with last year, as many travellers appear to be delaying trips rather than cancelling them.
Flighthub reported domestic travel was down about 51% year over year, while international travel fell about 26%. The company said average domestic ticket prices dropped roughly 16%, from about $240 to about $202, but the lower fares were not enough to bring early year demand back to last year’s levels.
The data also noted that some long haul routes remained relatively resilient, and that Toronto to Delhi continued to rank among the most popular routes. Flighthub added that Gen Z travellers accounted for about 29% of travellers in the period, up from 26% in 2025.
The findings are based on round trip bookings originating in Canada for travel between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28, with 2026 departures compared against the same period in 2025. The dataset was pulled on Jan. 7, 2026.
