New monthly indicator of passenger air traffic
The rapid recovery in air travel during the busy summer travel season (July to September) of 2022 posed capacity challenges for some Canadian airports. To better monitor air travel recovery and traffic, Statistics Canada is publishing a new and timelier monthly series for passenger traffic that starts with January 2019 data.
Screened passenger traffic at Canadian airports provides counts from the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority at pre-board security checkpoints in Canada's eight largest airports.
This new table contains data for the most current month (October 2023).

The Canadian Transportation System
A healthy Canadian economy is strongly connected to a well-functioning transportation sector. Transportation allows products, services and people to access key markets at home and abroad. This helps create prosperity and economic opportunities. Employment in commercial transport industries accounts for about 5% of Canadian jobs, a share that has remained stable over the past two decades. In 2016, Canada's combined total household spending on transportation (including insurance) was $179.5 billion – second only to shelter, in terms of major spending categories. Household spending for personal travel accounted for about 10% of GDP. Read more about the Canadian Transportation System.
