Monthly Civil Aviation Statistics

This dashboard displays the main financial and operational data from the Canadian Level I air carriers, for the last five years. It allows users to compare operating statistics (passengers, passenger-kilometres, available seat-kilometres, load factor, hours flown, and turbo fuel consumed) and financial statistics (total operating revenues) over time.

For more information, refer to the Monthly civil aviation statistical program page.

Definitions

Available seat-kilometres

Represents the aircraft kilometres flown on each flight stage multiplied by the number of seats available for use on that stage. This represents the total passenger carrying capacity offered.

Enplaned passengers

Refers to revenue passengers who board aircraft and surrender one or more flight coupons or other documents good for transportation over the itinerary specified in these coupons or documents.

Passenger-kilometres

Represents the carriage of one revenue passenger on each flight stage multiplied by the number of kilometres flown on that stage. Passenger-kilometres are obtained by totaling the number of kilometres flown by all passengers.
