Canada, which eased all COVID restrictions for passengers in the fall of 2022, has seen a strong rebound in travel, driving demand for international flights.
With travel demand holding strong, the carrier said it expected its 2023 capacity to increase by about 24% from a year earlier.
“We expect a solid demand environment in 2023,” Chief Executive Officer Michael Rousseau said.
