"We’re proud to play a part in fostering growth and connection for our community and beyond."
Greater Sudbury Airport, operated by the Sudbury Airport Community Development Corporation, is a not-for-profit, non-share capital corporation.
The Greater Sudbury Airport is one of Northern Ontario's busiest and is currently served by Air Canada, Bearskin Airlines, and Porter Airlines, with new seasonal service by WestJet launching in June 2025.
