Original article ↗Key figures
With trans-border screen passenger traffic down by 8.7 per cent in July, the agency notes this number was “well below the same month in 2024,” which was 12.5 per cent.
A nearly one per cent decline was observed in July from the same time a year prior, with three of the largest airports noting losses in July 2026 being Vancouver International (-4.5 per cent), Montréal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International (-2.0 per cent) and Calgary International (-0.1 per cent).
In addition, July 2024’s international screened passenger counts grew 6.2 per cent from July 2023, with trans-border passenger traffic considered by Statistics Canada to be “fully recovered” at the time as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
equaled $18.8 billion in 2025, while spending on overseas travel came to $81.3 billion.
