Coupon Passenger Origin and Destination Report : Unit Toll Services - Statement 4 (II, III, IV, V, F)

Introduction

Purpose

The purpose of this business survey is to provide estimates of passengers enplaned and deplaned and cargo loaded and unloaded at Canadian airports.

The survey covers the scheduled services operated within, into or out of Canada by medium-size and smaller-size Canadian and non-Canadian air carriers. Data on the origin and destination of passengers from the reporting carrier's system are collected.

Authority

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).

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.

Data-sharing agreements

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.

Introduction statement

The Coupon Passenger Origin and Destination Survey is concerned with collecting
revenue passenger 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.

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 passengers 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.
