STUDY OF MUNICIPAL AIRPORTS IN ONTARIO
This study focuses on municipal airports in Ontario – essentially those public airports that serve local / municipal needs and provide a socio-economic contribution – regardless of ownership structure, although most are municipally owned. The study excludes National Airports System (NAS) airports, provincially owned airports, and privately owned airports that serve private or recreational purposes only.

Data collection included a survey sent to 85 municipal airports in Ontario, site visits to 10 airports, and interviews with other key stakeholders (users, aviation organizations and air carriers), as well as a literature search.

The study was guided by a Steering Committee comprised of funding partners and key stakeholders (AMCO, MTO, MEDT, MNDM, MNR, FEDNOR).
