Flooding impacts - July 28, 2026

Our Airport. Our Niagara. Our Future.
Connecting Niagara: From Here to Everywhere
Niagara District Airport (YCM) is more than a runway; it’s a regional hub for the people and places that make Niagara thrive.
From local businesses and flight training to private travel and economic growth, Niagara District Airport plays a vital role in linking Niagara’s communities, industries, and visitors. With planning and redevelopment underway, we’re shaping a modern regional gateway, one designed to serve Niagara today and for generations to come.
A Vision for the Next Generation
Our 2025–2045 Master Plan outlines a bold path forward, transforming our facility into a regional gateway that brings the world closer to Niagara, and Niagara closer to the world.
Over the coming years, Niagara District Airport anticipates phased investments in terminal improvements, runway extensions, and new commercial development, all guided by our commitment to safety, sustainability, and community benefit.
-
The Government of Ontario's recent investment of nearly $10 million marks a critical step in advancing our Master Plan and realizing our vision of becoming a modern regional gateway.
