Probably election related. They still require voting in person at your household registration locality. With the elections consolidated to January 11, 2020, expect quite a bit of Christmas and CNY (January 25) traffic concentrated, shifted or stay extended to either side of the election, especially from North America where yearly visits are more common than quarterly visits from e.g. Asia.

The loading dropped by about 5-10% for all destinations compare to previous years, except JFK.

Typically September we see a drop in comparison to summer peak season, but nothing like this year.

CI: HNL 65.3%, JFK 85.9%, LAX 81.5%, ONT 79.0%, SFO 78.8%

BR: IAH 84.2%, JFK 85.3%, LAX 75.7%, ORD 69.3%, SEA 79.4%, SFO 71.4%

UA: SFO 78.8%

I mean CI already dropped it's intention to add a flight at SFO and for some unknown reason the traffic went down to the 70's. Seems like the morning flights are suffering and even UA can't get it up to 80%+. On the other hand the Canadian markets are doing okay in the loading, but the $$ isn't there for YVR (CI 87.6%, BR 85.6%, AC 83.8%). YYZ is fine at 86.1%.
