Aircraft take-offs and landings at Canadian airports with NAV CANADA air traffic control towers and flight service stations were relatively unchanged (-0.3%) in 2014 from a year earlier. Ninety-two airports reported 5.4 million movements during the year compared with 5.5 million at 93 airports in 2013, the sixth consecutive annual drop in movements and the lowest level since 1985.
In 2014, itinerant movements dropped by 35,332 from the year-earlier level. Most airports reported declines, the largest of which was recorded at Toronto/Buttonville, Ontario (-16,329 movements) as the airport may close in late 2016.
The 1.5 million local movements recorded in 2014, which represented an increase of 18,239 movements compared with 2013, was the first annual increase since 2007. Boundary Bay, British Columbia (89,936 movements) and Calgary/Springbank, Alberta (87,988) reported the largest number of local movements in 2014.
