Despite increased political tensions between the two neighboring countries in recent years, transborder traffic to the United States of America remains a key market for Canadian flag carrier Air Canada . Indeed, data from Cirium , an aviation analytics company, shows that it has scheduled a grand total of 10,356 flights on routes to and from the US this month, offering 1,213,760 seats and 1,345,171,933 ASMs.

However, this aspect of the Star Alliance founding member's operations is dominated by regional jets, with only 4,175 of these flights, or around 40.3%, being marketed as mainline Air Canada flights. Here, the Airbus A220, A320, and Boeing 737 families are the dominant forces, but certain flights on certain routes are also served by widebodies from the A330 and 787 series.
