List of airports in the Greater Toronto Area

The following active airports serve the Greater Toronto Area:

Pearson, City Centre and Hamilton have scheduled passenger service; however, the vast majority of passenger traffic goes through Toronto's Pearson International Airport, which is Canada's busiest airport and the country's major hub. Hamilton handles some discount flights and charters and acts as an alternate to Pearson. City Centre (Island Airport) is used for civil aviation, air ambulance traffic and regional scheduled airlines. Buttonville formerly had scheduled passenger service from Ottawa operated by Bearskin Airlines, but it has been discontinued. Hamilton is popular with charters and discount airlines who want to avoid fees at Pearson, which is among the world's most expensive airports.^{[citation needed]}

Proposed Airports

There is a tentative proposal to develop a new, Pickering Airport northeast of the city, to complement Pearson on the west side of Toronto. The development of this airport would likely result in the closure of the Oshawa, Markham, and Buttonville airports, all of which are located near the proposed site.^{[citation needed]}
