Passenger Air Services Price Index, 2018

The 2018 reference year marks the final release of the Passenger Air Services Price Index (PASPI) as the program has been discontinued. Alternative data: Consumer Price Index, table 18-10-0004-01, Air transportation, v41691151.

The PASPI is an annual series measuring the price change for base air fares to provide indications of the overall trend of domestic and international fares over time. The index covers the operations of major Canadian air carriers.

With each release, data for the previous year may have been revised. The indexes are not seasonally adjusted. Data are available at the Canada level only.

Prior to the release of the PASPI, air fare indexes up to 2011 were published in "Air Fare, Canadian Air Carriers, Level I," as part of the publication Aviation (Catalogue number51-004-X).
