Figures for charter services are not yet available for 2005. This is the second consecutive year in history that traffi c volumes for scheduled services have been at their highest. In 2005, the distribution of transborder traffi c by province remained relatively unchanged as compared to 2004. The majority of all transborder traffi c went through Ontario (43.07%). Toronto (37.3%) and Montréal (15.4%) captured the majority of the traffi c between eastern Canada and the United States while Vancouver (17.6%) and Calgary (8.7%) attracted most of western Canada’s transborder traffi c.
