In the case of YOW, it might be partially explained by the alternative airfields nearby for general aviation - YRP - Carp, YRO - Rockcliffe and YND - Gatineau. YND has a FSS, and I checked and movements in 2023 were +3,557 vs 2022.
With YOO up 19% it’s evident where all the Buttonville movements went to. Some probably also went to the privately owned Brampton air strip. Surprised none shifted to YTZ.
Yeah Boeing spinning off ICT into Spirit was nothing but corporate greed just like the HQ move to a city where they had no historical ties to. It’s karma on them.

I think it is caused by the removal of all South flights from YQB by AC this winter
