United Adds Flight to Canadian Hub Bucking U.S. Travel Dip

United Airlines launches a new seasonal route from Washington Dulles to Halifax, Nova Scotia, operating Saturdays from May 23 to September 19 on Embraer 175 aircraft. This addition bucks the trend as Canadian carriers cut 450,000 seats to the U.S. in early 2026 amid declining demand.
