Highlights
Major Canadian airlines carried 2.7 million passengers on scheduled and charter services in February. While this was more than five times the number of passengers carried in February 2021, it was 40.9% of the level reported in February 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With traffic at 6.7 billion passenger-kilometres and capacity at 10.2 billion available seat-kilometres, the passenger load factor (the ratio of passenger-kilometres to available seat-kilometres) was 65.5% in February.
The $879.9 million operating revenue earned was nearly half (49.4%) of that earned before the pandemic in February 2019.
