## Description

When Toronto's Buttonville airfield wound down, Seneca Polytechnic moved its School of Aviation to Peterborough Municipal Airport (YPQ) in January 2014, anchoring the field's role in pilot training. Today the largest tenant is Flying Colours Corp., a business-jet completions and maintenance specialist, while the airport handles general and corporate aviation rather than scheduled freight. Situated some 90 km northeast of Toronto in eastern Ontario, YPQ has no dedicated cargo terminal. Freight forwarders serving the Peterborough area route air shipments through Toronto Pearson (YYZ) or the cargo-focused Hamilton (YHM). For logistics professionals, the value of YPQ lies in aircraft servicing and training, not cargo throughput.
