NAV CANADA announced today its traffic figures for the month of April 2021, as measured in weighted charging units for enroute, terminal and oceanic air navigation services, in comparison to the last fiscal year and to its 2019 fiscal year.
In April 2021 weighted charging units increased by an average of 67.5 percent compared to the same month in 2020. As compared to the same month in 2019, April 2021 weighted charging units decreased by an average of 57.7 percent.
Weighted charging units represent a traffic measure that reflects the number of billable flights, aircraft size and distance flown in Canadian airspace and is the basis for movement-based service charges, which comprise the vast majority of the Company’s air traffic revenue.
