MONTREAL, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Airfare to popular international leisure destinations should cost less this winter and next summer than a year ago as carriers add capacity, the CEO of Canada's WestJet Airlines told Reuters on Wednesday.
I think this winter we'll have a better supply-to-demand balance, which will give more affordability to Canadians," von Hoensbroech added.
WestJet expects to fly almost half of the seats to sun destinations after acquiring leisure carrier Sunwing this year.
"We see strong bookings, slightly softer than what we saw last winter," von Hoensbroech added.
"I would expect next summer there would be a different demand-to-supply equation on transatlantic," von Hoensbroech said.
