In January, 4.3 million passengers passed through pre-board security screening at checkpoints operated at Canada's eight largest airports, an increase of 10.2% from January 2023.
However, January 2024 traffic was 2.6% below the volume in January 2020, pre-COVID-19 pandemic. This was the second straight month in which traffic was below pre-pandemic levels, after having surpassed them for five consecutive months from July to November 2023.
