Canadian airports continue to improve service levels as the summer travel season begins to wind down.
Transport Canada says that between Aug. 15 and Aug. 21, 168,812 passengers departed all Canadian airports, representing 83 per cent of pre-pandemic capacity levels. Two per cent of scheduled flights at the country's busiest airports were cancelled in the third week of August, an improvement from 5 per cent of all flights in July. While that cancellation level is the same as in 2019, capacity levels in 2022 are still below pre-pandemic activity at Canadian airports. Both Air Canada and WestJet cut flights from their schedules in July and August and flew fewer passengers than in 2019.
