Airports with NAV CANADA Air Traffic Control Towers

The data in this bulletin represent preliminary monthly statistics for airports with NAV CANADA air traffic control towers.

In June, the 42 Canadian airports with NAV CANADA air traffic control towers reported 410,935 take-offs and landings, a decrease of 1.7% compared to June 2003 (418,059). This decline represents the fourth consecutive decrease in year-over-year comparisons of monthly movements. Twenty-five airports showed year-over-year decreases in aircraft movements for June 2004 compared to June 2003. Seven airports showed decreases greater than 20% this month compared to ten airports in May.

Itinerant movements (flights from one airport to another) increased by 1.5% (up 4,326 movements) in June 2004 compared to June 2003. This increase in monthly year-over-year percentage changes follows a decrease in May. Local movements (flights that remain in the vicinity of the airport) declined by 8.8% (down 11,450 movements) in June 2004, the fourth consecutive month of decline.

The top ten airports in terms of volumes of itinerant movements in June showed year-over-year variations ranging from 13.1% (4,018 movements) at Toronto/LB Pearson Intl to -6.5% (-757 movements) at Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier Intl. Six of the top ten airports recorded increases in itinerant movements compared to four airports in May 2004.

The top ten airports in terms of local movements showed year-over-year variations ranging from 53.8% (3,767 movements) at Toronto/Buttonville Municipal to -19.7% (-2,252 movements) at Boundary Bay. Four of the top ten airports recorded decreases in local movements compared to seven airports in May 2004.

More detailed statistics for airports with NAV CANADA air traffic control towers and flight service stations will be released in the Aircraft Movement Statistics monthly report (TP141 - Volume 1). Statistics for airports without air traffic control towers will appear in TP 141 - Volume 2.
