Aircraft take-offs and landings at Canadian airports with NAV CANADA air traffic control towers and flight service stations increased 2.7% in June from the same month a year earlier. These 91 airports reported 523,366 movements during the month compared with 509,747 at 92 airports in June 2014.
Increases in both itinerant movements (flights from one airport to another) and local movements (flights that remain in the vicinity of the airport) contributed to the overall gain. Itinerant movements rose 3.1% to 379,683, while local movements grew 1.6% to 143,683.
Prince Rupert Airport in British Columbia, while still open, lost its status as a flight service station effective July 24, 2014. This airport accounted for 323 movements in June 2014.
