As part of its commitment to transparency and accountability, CATSA publishes key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect operational efficiency, service standards, and screening volumes.
Most KPIs are published quarterly, with select metrics, such as passenger volumes and wait time service levels, featuring monthly results within those updates. Workforce demographics are updated annually. Each KPI includes its update frequency and the most recent reporting period.
