Levels I-III (1998-99): Canadian air carriers that in each of the two calendar years immediately preceding the report year, transported 5,000 revenue passengers or more or 1,000 tonnes of revenue goods or more. Levels I-III (from 2000): Canadian air carriers that in each of the two calendar years immediately preceding the report year, realized annual gross revenues of $1 million or more for the air services for which the air carrier held a licence.

Level IV (1998-99): Canadian air carriers not classified in Levels I-III that in each of the two calendar years immediately preceding the report year realized annual gross revenues of $500,000 or more for air services for which the air carrier held a licence.

Effective 2000, data for Level IV carriers will no longer be available due to carrier level definition changes implemented by Statistics Canada. Most carriers formerly classified as Level IV now come under Level V, which are not required to report employment data.
