Tuesday, June 20, 2006 Aircraft movement statistics
For the fifth consecutive month, aircraft take-offs and landings increased in May 2006. However, the level recorded in May was still 2.8% lower than a year earlier. The 42 Canadian airports with NAV CANADA air traffic control towers reported 396,572 aircraft take-offs and landings in May, up from 379,568 movements in April 2006, but down compared with May 2005 (407,889 movements). Year-over-year decreases in aircraft movements were reported by 22 of the airports in May 2006. The variations ranged from a rise of 65.3% at Winnipeg/St. Andrews to a drop of 44.2% at Windsor. Itinerant movements (flights from one airport to another) decreased by 1.1% (-3,187 movements) in May 2006 compared with the same month a year earlier. Local movements (flights that remain in the vicinity of the airport) decreased by 6.5% (-8,130 movements) in May 2006 compared with May 2005.
