About This Airport

Cargojet anchors operations at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM), running its principal sorting and transfer network from the site alongside DHL Express, UPS, Purolator, Canada Post and Amazon Air. Together these carriers moved roughly 750 million kilograms of billable cargo weight through YHM in 2025, confirming its status as Canada's busiest airport for domestic overnight express freight. Because Hamilton faces few of the night-time movement limits that constrain nearby Toronto Pearson, freighters can work around the clock. Recent investment added cold-storage capacity for temperature-sensitive shipments, while KF Aerospace is building facilities to handle widebody freighters. On the ground, Highway 403, the QEW and Highway 6 link the airport to the Greater Toronto Area and the Niagara border crossings into the United States. The nearby Port of Hamilton on Lake Ontario and the CN and CP rail corridors add genuine multimodal depth for forwarders. Passenger service, by contrast, remains modest, built around leisure and low-cost routes.
