It's an error, plain and simple. This is from YVR's website. CAPA added the total pax numbers to the international total to come up with a new and improved total. Someone at CAPA should catch it and correct it.
What's also interesting is that YVR's Asia-Pacific traffic (its largest segment of int'l traffic) hasn't improved much since 2002. It's been fluctuating around the 2.3-2.4 MM per year mark give or take. I wonder if it's because of U.S. West coast airports siphening off traffic or if it's just natural demand that has stagnated.
