Canadian Carrier Collapse at LAS: The 2025 Story
WestJet and Air Canada together shed approximately 380,000 LAS passengers in 2025 — a significant contributor to the overall 5.9% decline. A weakening Canadian dollar made Las Vegas vacations substantially more expensive for Canadian travelers, and some political friction between the U.S. and Canada further suppressed cross-border leisure travel. International arrivals to LAS were down every month of 2025 except January.

Southwest Airlines remains the dominant carrier at LAS — consistently accounting for approximately 30–35% of all passengers. Southwest and United both posted increases in 2025, bucking the overall market trend. Air France announced new seasonal nonstop Paris service from LAS, expected to launch in 2026 — expanding the airport’s international footprint.
