Aviation News International – The head of ultra-low-cost carrier\u00a0Flair Airlines<\/a>\u00a0is forecasting stronger demand for domestic trips this year as \u201caffordable travel\u201d becomes a more realistic option for Canadians.<\/p>\n

CEO Stephen Jones told reporters at a virtual news conference on Thursday\u00a0that travellers are becoming more \u201cspontaneous\u201d in their travel plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2022, we saw quite a lot of domestic travel as we started coming out of COVID. Last year, it really flipped and there was a lot of people going, \u2018Okay, finally I\u2019m going to go overseas again,\u2019 so there was a lot of international travel,\u201d he said. But he added that 2024 will likely be another year of \u201cstrong\u201d domestic travel.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are getting used to travelling cheaply \u2026 people are travelling more often, they\u2019re booking later, they\u2019re taking shorter trips. The average length of stay used to be eight or nine days, it\u2019s now something like four days,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n

The travel industry rebounded last year after a crippling 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic when much of the sector suffered due to public health restrictions.<\/p>\n

Statistics Canada\u2019s\u00a0latest<\/a>\u00a0National Travel Survey indicated that in the second quarter of 2023, Canadian residents took\u00a070.2\u00a0million domestic trips, up by\u00a05.2\u00a0million from the second quarter of\u00a02022\u00a0and\u00a04.7 per cent more than in the same quarter in\u00a02019.<\/p>\n

Domestic travel accounted for\u00a089.6 per cent of all travel by Canadian residents in the second quarter, surpassing the proportion seen in the same quarter of\u00a02019\u00a0(87.1 per cent). In comparison, this proportion was\u00a092 per cent from April to June\u00a02022.<\/p>\n

Canadian residents spent $17.7\u00a0billion on domestic travel in the second quarter of\u00a02023, up\u00a02.6 per cent from the second quarter of\u00a02022\u00a0and up\u00a029 per cent from the same period in\u00a02019.<\/p>\n
