Monthly Itinerant Flight Movements at Canadian Airports

Monthly itinerant movements, including domestic, transborder, and other international flights, are recorded for airports with NAV CANADA services and other selected airports. Statistics Canada publishes this data, which was last updated in March 2026. It provides a breakdown of flight activity by province and territory.

Use Cases

• Forecast monthly domestic flight volumes using the domestic itinerant movements column and time-series analysis.
• Analyze seasonal trends in transborder air traffic by modeling the transborder itinerant movements feature over time.
• Compare international flight activity across provinces using the other international itinerant movements data and geography fields.
• Assess the operational footprint of NAV CANADA versus other airports by aggregating movement counts by airport service type.

Strengths

• Data is updated monthly, providing regular insights into aviation activity.
• Covers multiple flight categories: domestic, transborder, and other international itinerant movements.
• Includes airports across all Canadian provinces and territories.

Limitations

• The exact number of rows and historical time range are not specified in the input.
• Sample data and specific column names are unavailable, limiting immediate analysis.
• Coverage is limited to selected Canadian airports, not a complete global or national census.
