Canadian Airport Passenger Numbers In 2014

Thenoflyzone · Wed Jan 28, 2015 2:21 pm

Here's the tally from the big 6, in order, and a minor leaguer....

YYZ - no official tally yet, but preliminary is topping 38 million. (+6 to 7%)

http://www.torontopearson.com/pearso...nWF.aspx?pageid=78&id=19327352836#

YVR - 19.36 million (+7.7%)

http://www.yvr.ca/Libraries/Aviation...aned_Passengers_Dec_2014.sflb.ashx

YYC, stats page still needs december numbers, but YYC will surely hit 15.2 million in 2014 (+6 to 7 %)

http://www.yyc.com/en-us/media/factsfigures/passengerstatistics.aspx

YUL - 14.82 million (+5.2%)

http://www.admtl.com/sites/default/files/ADM_Statsdet_Angl-14-vWeb.pdf

YEG - 8.2 million (+7%)

http://flyeia.com/news/eia-was-flyin...-2014-record-82-million-passengers

YOW - 4,616,448 (+0.8%)

http://ottawa-airport.ca/sites/ottaw...s/pax_stats_chart_-_dec_14_eng.pdf

and the minor leaguer.....

YQB - 1.57 million (+6.7%)

Canadian airports are alive an well. Will be interesting to see what happens to YYC's and YEG's numbers in 2015 with oil down to less than 50$ a barrel.

Any idea how the second tier airports did in 2014 like YYJ, YKA, YLW, YXE, YQR, YXU and YYT?

SpaceshipDC10 · Wed Jan 28, 2015 3:11 pm

In this video from last December, Craig Richmond said that they were expecting to end the year with 19,2 passengers having used YVR. The final result is even better: 19,358,203. In other words it means a growth of 1,386,320 over 2013. Quite a leap forward.

Now that UA is dropping SFO-YLW, I wonder if 2015 growth will slow as a result ?

Thenoflyzone · Wed Jan 28, 2015 3:49 pm

What's interesting in all these stats is that aircraft movements aren't increasing at the same rate as the passenger numbers are.

At best, we are seeing 1, 2 or 3 % increases in aircraft movements, well below the 5, 6 or 7 % increases in passenger numbers.

Therefore it is clear that airlines are using bigger aircraft carrying more passengers and/or load factors are higher than ever before.

I suspect that the GTAA might seriously consider starting "Pier G" construction within the next couple of years at this rate.

interesting last quarter for YEG.

http://flyeia.com/sites/default/files/12-14_-_public_report_p1_0.pdf

8% increase in October, less than 2 % in November, and -0.6% in December 2014. Maybe a sign of things to come in 2015.

Similar scenario for YYC. An average of 7-8 % growth during the first half of the year. Third quarter, the increase was limited to 6 %, and during the last quarter, the average will likely be 4 or 5 %. A definite slowdown.

Do Quebecers simply not fly as much? Less than 15mil for a province of 8 million people and a metro area of close to 4mil sounds low.

^ Quebecers do not fly as much domestically. If you look at YUL's stats, it is mostly international and US.

On the flip side, YEG and YYC are the exceptions where people must fly almost anywhere they want to go.

Do Quebecers simply not fly as much?

As yegbey01 said, you could say that, as far as domestic flying is concerned. Culturally, they are different than the rest of Canada, so they dont feel the need to travel within the country as much. Also, as the most taxed province/state in North America, and with some of the lowest average wages in the country, it is pretty clear that Quebecers dont have as much disposable income as the rest of the continent, meaning less opportunities to fly.

However, Quebecers love to fly abroad. example.

YUL international (non U.S) passengers, 5.54 million
YVR international (non U.S) passengers, 4.55 million

Problem is, Quebecers also love to drive, in order to save money !

Location is everything.

NY, Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto, etc are all within a few hours drive from YUL. You even see thousands of QC plates in FLL/MIA/PBI all year round, especially in winter. There is also decent train service to Ottawa, Toronto, the maritimes, YQB, and also NY. Basically, Quebecers have options to not use YUL.

That's not the case for Calgary or Edmonton, which are in isolated locations, meaning if you want to leave the city, your only option is to fly out. That and the fact that migrant workers want to go back home during the holidays/days off, etc, and that is why a city like YEG handles 8x as much passengers compared to it's population.

Put Montreal in the middle of Alberta, and YUL would be pumping out 20-25 million passengers by now.

Plus, let's not kid ourselves, a few million of YYZ's passengers are Quebecers driving or connecting in YYZ

Without Quebec right next door, YYZ's count would probably still be in the low 30 mils.

I myself connected in YYZ from YUL 3 times in 2014.

SFO-YLW was planned as a seasonal (winter only) service. The last flight is April 6 in UA schedules. Can't find any news about their plans for next winter but the flight isn't in their schedules for a few random dates I checked.

I'd assume these number's don't include FBO pax traffic of any kind, which is where most of the operators to and from the Oil Patch and other remote industry destinations operate out of. This would affect the overall numbers to most larger Canadian airports and also skew some quite negatively (namely CYEG and CYYC).

I also noticed that they included charters in the numbers for YLW, such as Canadian North and North Cariboo Air going to and from Albian. Anyone know if these only apply to the charters using the main terminal building or do they also include the Suncor charters which use the Shell FBO on the north end if I'm not mistaken?

I doubt there will a huge increase, in 2014 or 2015.

In the last 10 years, YHZ traffic grew from 3 million to 3.6 million. That's what, a 20% increase in total, meaning an average of 2 % per year. Nothing to write home about. During the same time frame, airports like YUL, YYC and YEG saw 90-100% increases.

Not only in order to save money. Two of the main destinations from Montreal, namely Ottawa and Quebec city, are both so close as to render taking the plane quite unnecessary. There is a bus shuttle between Montreal and Quebec, with a departure every hour during the whole day, and the journey takes the short side of three hours. Going to YUL from downtown Montreal would take, say, 30 minutes, let's say screening and boarding could hardly take less than another 45 minutes, the flight to YQB itself is something like 45 minutes, disembarking and reaching Quebec city downtown could well be another half hour… so, basically, the same total time. And Ottawa is even closer: barely over two hours on the road.

Maybe your opinion but the success of the brand and bum in seats are disagreeing with you.

People who can trade a lot of time for saving of money will continue to vote that way and take the extra trouble to save a chunk of money. Even those people though will reach a point where the drive, wait at customs and cost of car gas will erode the benefits. I am not retired and my time is at a premium so unless for some reason the trip across the border was part of my trip (tickets to a game or show in the US departure city) I am not going to spend 3 or more hours (6 total) to save a small amount on a ticket.

I don't think the numbers would be all that great. Calgary is too far for most people to bother driving to the US. Lethbridge is also closer to Calgary than to Kalispell or Great Falls. Outside of Calgary and Lethbridge, there just aren't that many people in Southern Alberta. Also, I did a quick search on skyscanner for some flights to HNL. I searched from GTF, FCA, and YYC. In all three, the cheapest flights had one connection through the US, and mostly through DEN and SFO. On top of that, the flights from YYC were $100 - 150 cheaper than through GTF and FCA. Quite the opposite of savings. Of course, this is just one search, so not exactly a detailed study. Another search to New York (any airport) revealed that from GTF prices were equal to YYC, and from FCA prices were still about $50 more than from YYC.

In addition, I've never know anyone to drive to either city, from Alberta, for anything other than cross-border shopping. I think It's fairly safe to say that YYC's numbers are not being threatened by any US airports. IMHO, the best reason to go to Great Falls is the Sip 'n Dip.

This surprises me. The drive from the Hwy 4/i-15 border crossing at Coutts is 100km further to Kalispell than to Great Falls, and takes almost twice the time at posted speed limits. The time difference becomes greater in poor weather and during peak tourist season. FCA seems to offer a lot of seasonal service (presumably in the summer, when Canadians tend to stay home and enjoy the nicer weather). Granted, FCA boasts higher domestic passenger numbers to its top destinations than does GTF, but I have little idea what percentages of these travelers are Canadian.

I don't understand all this pooping on Rouge. We went to Scotland last summer, and flew AC YUL-YYZ then Rouge to EDI and back.

There was nothing really all that awful about the Rouge flights. Nothing spectacular, but nothing awful. No more cramped than Air Transat. The plane (763) was clean. The entertainment selections were sort of limited (I brought my iPad mini and that worked OK, the image quality on my retina display was actually way better than the seat back entertainment systems on AC mainline) and the food was very ordinary, but nothing worse than most airline economy class food.

Both flights, to and fro, were on time, and baggage delivered promptly. Yeah sure it was a bit ho-hum but I can't say it was a "crap experience" compared to the FRA-YUL flight last November on an AC A333. The FRA flight was a bit more comfortable, the food maybe marginally better, and the entertainment selections better (but with worse image quality). Bottom line: they got me there safely, on-time, and with my luggage intact. I was fed and watered along the way. It was the cheapest ticket to get to EDI. Seems that they fulfilled their mission for me.

I'd fly Rouge again if they happen to be going my way.

Difficult to figure out what the devaluation of the dollar means for cross border flying and transborder travel. The devaluation isn't taking place in a vacuum - it is linked to lower oil prices. That gives the ULCCs some room to adjust fares and keep the crowds coming.

It will be far more interestng to see how the devaluation impacts transborder leisure travel. Airfare is only part of the expenditure of vacationing in the US. I suspect that the exchange rate and its impact on the overall cost of visiting the US will be a bigger challenge for the ULCCs (and, to some degree, direct operators) than the inability to price competitively enough to attract CAN traffic.

What is the breakdown of cross border travel? Is it mostly Canada to US, or US to Canada, or equal in both directions?

There is significant spillover on G4 flights to LAS and AZA. The flights are quite often two thirds Canadian. It takes about the same amount of time to get to YYC or GTF from Lethbridge. Plus it is a lot easier to clear customs at a land crossing than at an airport.

Kelowna will likely suffer from the slowing of growth in Alberta oil sands areas; prepare for a significant drop in numbers next year.

The Canadian North and North Cairboo Air charters are ending this week for one of the sites. YLW saw several of these flights in a week. Most of the workers will be using WS/AC to get to YYC or YEG to catch their charter up north now. So I agree, there will be (already has been) a decline in numbers. When I started using the charters in the Summer, our flight had about 40 people originating in YLW we're now down to about 10. Some of the other flights still have more people though.
