Jump In International Traffic for Vancouver International Airport

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is expected to have a banner summer season and is seeing much faster growth in its number of international passengers than it is for its number of domestic ones, according to data from the Vancouver Airport Authority (VAA), which oversees the airport.

International travel was slow to return to YVR following the COVID-19 pandemic, but figures up to May show that the number of international visitors in the first five months of this year are almost at the level seen in those months in 2019, before the pandemic disrupted travel around the world.

European-passenger growth at YVR was 19.3% (to 553,491 people) in the first five months of this year, while US passenger growth was up 13.2% (to 2,577,449 people) compared with the same period last year.
