Highlights
In February, there were 288,568 aircraft movements at Canada's major airports. This was an increase of 20.8% from the same month in 2021, and more than four-fifths (81.7%) of the number recorded during the same month in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
When compared with February 2019, movements within Canada and to the United States both saw improvements from January 2022, while other international traffic drifted further from pre-pandemic levels.
Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International was Canada's busiest airport in February 2022.
