Canada World Cup Host Cities Q1 Business Jet Movements Decline — Vancouver Drops 22%; Weak Pre-Event Baseline Amplifies Q3 Rebound Expectations
Analysis
★★ Q1 2026 Canada major city airports business jet movements declined. Vancouver CYVR had the deepest drop (−22.2%, 3,401 → 2,645), Toronto CYYZ −8.9% (5,834 → 5,315), Montreal CYUL −8.0% (3,043 → 2,800). Toronto and Vancouver are confirmed 2026 World Cup host cities, with games concentrated in June–July; Q1 is the early pre-event preparation phase. The low baseline means Q2-end through Q3 event-pull effect will be more pronounced. FBO operators should pre-lock parking and crew accommodation resources, especially Toronto CYYZ.
