The Ottawa airport continues to have a banner 2019 as traffic through the regional travel hub continued to climb in the month of May.
Roughly 440,000 travellers passed through the Ottawa International Airport last month, an increase of 5.6 per cent from the same period a year ago. To date, total passenger volume is up three per cent year-over-year.
Just like last month, the airport’s biggest overall boost again came from domestic traffic – up 12,850 to 366,206 passengers. Some observers suggest this trend stems from airlines routing international travelers through Toronto or Montreal at the expense of direct flights to the capital.
