Turbulence and growth: A look at Saskatchewan air travel in 2023
Global News
Saskatchewan's air travel industry faced some turbulence early in 2023, but stakeholders remain optimistic moving into 2024.
Air travel in Saskatchewan faced a rocky road starting in 2023, but many in the business say things have levelled out and they’re optimistic heading into the new year.
Jamie Milton, president of Uniglobe Carefree Travel, said 2023 was a year of ups and downs with Sunwing cancelling all its flights and massive snow storms affecting travel across the country.
She said they’re hoping to not see as much disruption as this past year.
Milton said the summer was busy and there was a lot of travel to Europe during that time.
“This year we’re starting to see things normalize a little bit, so a little bit of a dip in that demand,” Milton said.
Milton said because of the disruptions many people are looking for those non-stop flights.
She gave some tips for people going abroad this time of year, saying people should leave enough time between connecting flights if they have any.
“We are seeing still some delays happening right now, so 20 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour.”
