Why it matters

The figures show higher industry revenue alongside fewer Canadian return trips from the United States.

A little more context

Statistics Canada said the industry group’s operating revenue was 24.9% above 2019, while the Consumer Price Index rose 20.7% over that period. The agency also reported 11 consecutive months of year-over-year declines in Canadian residents’ return trips from the United States. At the end of 2025, those trips made up two-thirds of return trips from abroad, compared with three-quarters in 2024.
