Canada Three Major Business Jet Hubs 2026 Business Jet Movements Broadly Decline; CBAA Urgently Pushes Tax and Fee Reform

January 1 – May 7, 2026, CYYZ/CYVR/CYUL combined business jet movements ~14,003 vs. ~17,248 in same period of 2025 — ~−13% YoY. CYVR had the largest decline; CYYZ second; CYUL relatively resilient. March was the year's weakest month with all three airports significant decline, but note this month's data may be affected by Easter/spring break calendar effects — the insight did not flag this. Against this backdrop, CBAA on May 7 submitted policy reform proposals to federal government covering taxation, regulation, and user fees three areas; same period, Canadian government reportedly exploring airport governance reform (including privatization discussion — this topic has historical context but specific 2026 progress pending confirmation). Airsprint as Canada's major fractional ownership operator maintains relatively high activity at all three airports. Confidence ★★★.
