General Information About John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport

YHM Airport is one of Canada's fastest growing travel hubs. Offering flights across Canada as well as select international locations (USA & beyond), YHM provides the ideal jumping off point to any journey you wish to undertake.

The airport originally served as a Royal Canadian Air Force base known as RCAF Station Hamilton prior to World War II. Since that time, its use has expanded considerably for civil purposes, becoming one of the major domestic and international hubs.

Today, YHM is operated by TradePort International Corporation under a 40-year lease agreement with the City of Hamilton and wholly owned by Vantage Airport Group which manages 10 airports on two continents.

Vantage provided design, financing and overall project management of Hamilton International Airport's terminal expansion between 2007 and 2008. This redevelopment doubled the size of its departure lounge while adding numerous passenger-friendly amenities - helping attract low cost carriers including Swoop to provide additional air service that led to continued passenger volume growth as well as cargo traffic increases.

Transportation Hamilton International Airport is situated 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) southwest of Downtown Hamilton and 64 km (40 mi) southwest of Toronto, accessible via Highway 6 as well as Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway and Red Hill Valley Parkway from Highway 403 connecting Stoney Creek with Stoney Creek on the QEW at Stoney Creek.

Parking at the airport is available at its secure, on-site lot, while car rentals can also be booked before arriving to pick them up in front of the Air Terminal Building. Furthermore, public transit and taxis provide further ground transport options.
