Flights Soar Amid Global Turbulence | Vancouver News
Description
Despite global chaos, air travel hit a record high with over 153,000 commercial flights on July 23 — proving people are still hitting the skies. Europe’s fuel scare and Spirit Airlines’ shutdown earlier this year painted a grim picture, but airlines found workarounds and passenger numbers held steady. Travelers are split: some booked early to lock in prices, others wait and see — especially for Europe. Canadian flights surged 16% between April and July, globally up 11%, with carriers using bigger planes to maximize capacity. With uncertainty rising, demand remains strong — and savvy travelers are even flying to Japan for ski trips, chasing value.
