Air travel rebounded after lockdown restrictions eased, but not all airports have recovered to pre-pandemic passenger numbers.

Published: 25 July 2023

After lockdown restrictions eased, many Canadians decided to take vacations they’d been putting off for several years. In New Brunswick, air travel fell off precipitously, and it’s still not at pre-pandemic levels, but passenger numbers at the province’s three largest airports are up significantly over 2022. "After a couple of years, there was a sense that ‘I owe myself, I owe my family the chance to get out there on the road,’" said Prof. Karl Moore to CBC News New Brunswick. "Business is also starting to travel more because there's a point to press the flesh, to go out there and see your customers and potential customers or suppliers."
