Our Airport. Our Niagara. Our Future.
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.
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.

From the vineyards across Niagara's benchlands to the Niagara Falls themselves, Niagara is one of Canada’s most celebrated tourist destinations.
Niagara District Airport connects travellers to the region’s wineries, theatres, casinos, golf courses, and resorts, all within a short drive.
We are all about convenience. For residents, that’s access. For visitors, that’s arrival. And for Niagara’s economy, its connection.
Niagara District Airport is jointly owned by the City of Niagara Falls, City of St. Catharines, and Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, and is governed by a nine-member Commission representing each municipality.
