Highlights
Major Canadian airlines carried 6.0 million passengers on scheduled and charter services in June, reaching 6 million for the first time since February 2020. This was more than seven times the number of passengers carried in June 2021 and over four-fifths (83.3%) of the June 2019 level.
With traffic at 16.0 billion passenger-kilometres and capacity at 19.1 billion available seat-kilometres, the passenger load factor (the ratio of passenger-kilometres to available seat-kilometres) was 83.6% in June, surpassing 80% for the first time since February 2020 and the closest it has reached to pre-pandemic levels.
The $2.0 billion operating revenue earned in June was 87.7% of that earned before the pandemic in June 2019.
