622 flights MoM -31.27% YoY +9.70% #5 Turks and Caicos Islands ↔ United States 513 flights MoM -36.90% YoY +3.22% Mexico-US Leads NA Cross-Border: The Mexico-US corridor remains NA's busiest cross-border route with 4,654 flights, although volumes contracted -26.79% MoM from March's elevated 6,357 baseline. Year-over-year the route declined -18.93%, reflecting moderation in cross-border corporate and leisure travel after the strong March surge.

Bahamas-US Caribbean Pullback: Bahamas-US traffic moderated to 4,113 flights (-28.85% MoM, -5.03% YoY) as the post-spring-break travel period normalized demand for Caribbean island destinations. The route remains structurally strong as the third-busiest NA cross-border corridor.

Canada-US Mild Decline: Canada-US traffic moderated -33.92% MoM to 4,151 flights (-8.87% YoY). The April pullback reflects unwinding of March's seasonal acceleration as cross-border business travel returned to typical spring levels following the Easter normalization.

Caribbean Routes Maintain Resilience: Puerto Rico-US (622 flights, -31.27% MoM, +9.70% YoY) and Turks and Caicos-US (513 flights, -36.90% MoM, +3.22% YoY) both posted positive YoY growth despite April's MoM softness. The persistent YoY strength signals durable demand for Caribbean destinations.
