Kamloops Airport announces the traveler numbers for Q2 of 2024, as compared to the same period from the previous year.

	2023	2024
Q2 Travelers	72,519	73,544	+1.4%
April	22,578	26,074	+15.5%
May	24,456	23,997	– 1.9%
June	25,485	23,473	7.9%
YTD	153,386	163,132	+ 6.4%

Passenger numbers for Q2 reflect slightly slower than planned recovery from pre-pandemic passenger traffic at YKA, largely reflecting the loss of  twice daily service to Vancouver by WestJet Link that took effect in May.   As compared to this period last year, both WestJet Encore and Air Canada Express  and Pacific Coastal have maintained or increased frequencies where possible to meet the peak summer traffic demand. 

During this busy summer travel season, passengers are reminded to monitor flight status for schedule changes, ensure airlines have your mobile contact information, and when making new travel arrangements, to allow sufficient connection times to allow time for potential delays.  We also encourage all passengers to complete their check-in online to decrease  processing and wait times at the airport.
