Traffic at the Ottawa International Airport dipped slightly in June, marking the local travel hub’s first year-over-year decline in traffic volumes since the start of the year.
Some 434,921 travellers passed through the gates of the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport last month, down from 437,917 in June 2018, according to figures from the Ottawa International Airport Authority.
A drop in travellers heading to and from the United States led the decline, as transborder passenger volumes were 4,000 fewer year-over-year. International traffic saw a slight uptick while domestic traffic was relatively stable in June.
