I General Description of Survey
The Coupon Passenger Origin and Destination Survey is concerned with collecting revenue passenger1 origin and destination flight segment data within a carrier's flight system. Flight segments of a passenger itinerary beyond the carrier's flight system are not taken into consideration. The number of flight departures at each airport served by the participating carrier is also reported. All data collected in this survey are related to regional and local unit toll services and are submitted quarterly on Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F). This statement must be filed with the Aviation Statistics Centre within 30 days after the end of the reference quarter.
II Confidentiality
"Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from publishing any statistics which would divulge information obtained from this survey that relates to any identifiable business, institution or individual without the previous written consent of that business, institution or individual. The data reported on this questionnaire will be treated in confidence, used for statistical purposes and published in aggregate form only. The confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by either the Access to Information Act or any other Legislation".
III Authority and Participation
To reduce response burden and to provide consistent statistics, Statistics Canada, under section 12 of the Statistics Act, has entered into a data sharing agreement with Transport Canada covering federally regulated carriers. Statistics Canada is collecting the information for itself pursuant to the Statistics Act and on behalf of Transport Canada pursuant to the Canada Transportation Act and the Carriers and Transportation Undertakings Information Regulations, thus satisfying the requirements of the Regulations to provide this type of information to Transport Canada.
Under this authority, Reporting level II, III, IV and V Canadian carriers must file Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F) for all their unit toll services (domestic or international) with the exception of those Level II Canadian carriers filing Statement 3 (I,II). Level II carriers who enplane 300,000 or more revenue passengers in each of the two years immediately preceding the reporting year must file Statement 3 (I,II). Also reporting Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F) under this authority are foreign carriers operating unit toll international services using fixed wing aircraft having a maximum take-off weight on wheels not greater than 30,000 kilograms (66,100 lbs).
IV Effective Date of Instructions
The Coupon Passengers Origin and Destination Report is to be filed according to these reporting instructions for operations performed after December 31, 1992.
V Recording of Data
Coupon passengers origin and destination data are recorded on Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F) which is in the format of an 11 X 14 matrix (see sample attached).
An explanation of each Field on Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F) follows:
Carrier Code - The carrier code to be used is the Official Airline Guide (OAG) code. Those carriers that do not appear in the OAG shall leave this field blank;
Year - These cells are to be completed with the four digits for the year to which the report relates.
Quarter - These cells are not to be completed with numbers to identify the quarter to which the report relates. The quarters must be entered as follows:
- 1 - first quarter (Jan. - March)
- 2 - second quarter (April - June)
- 3 - third quarter (July - Sept.)
- 4 - fourth quarter (Oct. - Dec.)
Origin - These cells are to be filled with a list of all the airports where the reporting carrier operates unit toll services. Enter the airport's full name in the boxes provided down the left-hand side of the matrix.
Destinatio - These cells are to be filled with the same airports (in the same order) as the Origin list. Enter the airport's full name in the boxes provided across the top of the matrix.
Passengers - Revenue passenger figures are to be entered into the matrix on a directional coupon origin and destination basis. This is best explained with a numerical example. Please see page 4. Please note that it is impossible to have the origin and destination as the same site. (i.e., one cannot report a trip from Vancouver to Vancouver.) A passenger with a return itinerary from Vancouver to Victoria to Vancouver, would therefore be reported as 2 passengers: one passenger from Vancouver to Victoria and one passenger from Victoria to Vancouver representing two directional trips;
Total -Every site reported on this statement must be totalled as both an origin and a destination. The total column for the origin is down the right-hand side of the matrix. The destination totals appear across the bottom of the matrix. The summed total of all site totals should appear in the lower right-hand corner under the total column;
Number of Departing Flights - This column contains the total number of aircraft departures of passenger flights for each airport listed as an origin.
Authorized Officer & Telephone Number - The officer employed by the carrier who is responsible for the completion of this statement should print his/her name and complete telephone number in the space provided at the bottom of the form.
VI Submission of Forms
The completed Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F) forms are to be submitted within 30 days after the end of the quarter to the following address:
Aviation Statistics Centre
Statistics Canada
Ottawa, Ontario
Canada
K1A 0N9
A supply of return envelopes and Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F) forms will be provided on request by contacting the Aviation Statistics Centre by telephone at (613) 951-0151 or by Fax: at (613) 951-0010.
VII Example for Recording Data
Suppose that a carrier with the name Air Carrier Inc. operates unit toll service at the following airports:
Windsor (YQG)
Toronto/Lester B. Pearson (YYZ);
and Montréal/Dorval (YUL);
This carrier provides direct services between:
Windsor and Toronto;
Toronto and Montréal.
Assume that during the first quarter of 2000, Air Carrier Inc. carried the following revenue passengers:
- 30 passengers with an itinerary YQG-YYZ
- 10 passengers with an itinerary YYZ-YQG
- 80 passengers with an itinerary YYZ-YUL
- 78 passengers with an itinerary YUL-YYZ
- 23 passengers with an itinerary YQG-YYZ-YUL (i.e. 23 passengers travelled from YQG to YUL via YYZ on the same carriers's system).
The city-pairs to be reported are as follows:
- YQG-YYZ (30+23) = 53
- YYZ-YQG (10)
- YYZ-YUL (80+23) = 103
- YUL-YYZ (78)
Please note that there are no passengers reported as YQG-YUL.
Also, assume that the carrier performed the following number of flights:
- 23 flights departed from Windsor
- 25 flights departed from Toronto
- 30 flights departed from Montréal
The above information would be reported on Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F) as shown on the attached page.
Note:
1. Revenue Passenger - In the case of unit toll transportation, it represents an enplaned passenger for whom the carrier receives remuneration of at least 25% of the basic fare.
