Aircraft take-offs and landings at the 42 Canadian airports with NAV CANADA air traffic control towers reached 438,663 movements last month, up 2.5% from the same month a year earlier (427,859 movements) and the fifth increase in seven months. Aircraft take-offs and landings, however, remained well below (-17.7%) the peak recorded in July 1998 (533,190 movements).
Year-over-year increases in aircraft movements were reported by 31 of these airports. The variations ranged from an increase of 33.3% for Winnipeg/St. Andrews to a decline of 20.9% for Windsor.
