💨 Abstract

Runway incursions in Canada have reached a record high of 639 in 2024, though high-risk incidents have decreased to about one per year since 2018. The increase is attributed to higher air traffic, a shortage of air traffic controllers, and complex airport operations. The rate of incursions has also doubled since 2010. Safety experts call for improved signage, lighting, and technology to mitigate risks.
