Briefing
Confirms a continuation of the 2025 weakening in inbound U.S. demand, reinforcing the broader pattern documented in recent government and industry data [source:790afe73-5e05-46f0-ba40-73fab815bc32].
A renewed fall in transborder traffic increases downside risk to carrier and airport revenue forecasts and capacity planning for 2026; the trend aligns with DHS data showing slower international travel late in 2025 [source:afc92864-3f3d-4da0-af26-e04c594091f5] and local airport reports of persistent U.S.-market declines such as Vancouver [source:b2296440-72a9-4aeb-b99d-7508891e29bb].
