In December, 4.5 million passengers passed through pre-board security screening at checkpoints operated at Canada's eight largest airports, an increase of 8.9% compared with the number of passengers during the challenging holiday travel period of December 2022.
However, December 2023 traffic was 3.5% below the same month in 2019, ending a five-month run in which total passengers had surpassed pre-COVID-19 pandemic volumes.
