General Description of Survey

Statement 4 (II) is concerned with airport activity data for those Level II carriers required to file Statement 3 (I,II). In those situations, where Statement 4 (II) must be completed, the reporting carrier must submit the number of enplaned and deplaned revenue passengers1 and the number of aircraft departures quarterly. These data must be submitted for all airports where unit toll services are provided, with the exception of those airports for which operations are reported on Statement 6 (I,F). The completed Statement 4 (II) forms are to be filed with the Aviation Statistics Centre within 30 days after the end of the reference quarter.

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 Statistic 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). 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) and are required to file Statement 4 (II) instead of Statement 4 (II,III,IV,V,F).

Example for Recording Data

Suppose that a carrier called Air Carrier Inc. operates unit toll services at four airports:

  • Toronto/Lester B. Pearson (YYZ)
  • Montréal/Dorval (YUL)
  • Ottawa (YOW)
  • Québec (YQB)

If we assume that during the first quarter of 2000, Air Carrier Inc. had the following activity:

  • 115 passengers enplaned and 126 deplaned at YYZ
  • 20 passengers enplaned and 33 deplaned at YUL
  • 315 passengers enplaned and 323 deplaned at YOW
  • 15 passengers enplaned and 25 deplaned at YQB
  • 20 flight departures were recorded at YYZ
  • 10 flight departures were recorded at YUL
  • 35 flight departures were recorded at YOW
  • 11 flight departures were recorded at YQB

The above information would be entered on Statement 4 (II) as shown on page 4 attached.


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.
