Level definitions from 1997 to 1999:

  1. Levels I-III: 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.
  2. Level IV: 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.
  3. Incidental services: jobs that are associated with the air industry but are not defined in Statistics Canada's catalogue.
    • Employment tabulations from Statistics Canada's publication "Survey of Employment, Payroll and Hours" are derived from air transport industry classified in accordance with the North America Industrial Classification System (NAICS).
    • "Grand Total, Including Incidental Services" excludes helicopter and hot-air balloon jobs associated with scenic and sightseeing transportation.
  4. 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.
  5. Figure for 2002 based on 12 months of averaged monthly data.
