However, the airport did not make it into ACI’s list of the top ten busiest airports in terms of international passenger traffic. Despite this, the airport remains very busy with international operations.

Despite having more scheduled flights, the flag carrier of Canada offers fewer seats compared to low-cost airline Volaris, just 25,482. This is because the carrier deploys its smaller-capacity Airbus A220 aircraft on the most popular routes to DFW rather than Airbus A320s or A321 narrowbodies.
