Hamilton, ON (March 3, 2025) – Hello, Hamilton! Get ready to #TravelRefreshed from John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (Hamilton International) this summer as the Airport prepares for takeoff into a new era of hassle-free and convenient travel with a transformed experience from curb to gate, alongside the introduction of Porter Airlines’ renowned elevated economy service.
Hamilton International is thrilled to unveil its 2025 Summer Program, featuring more destinations and more choice with the introduction of flights from Porter Airlines, the Airport’s new strategic airline partner. Porter Airlines’ flights are available for booking now, with direct daily service starting in early June between Hamilton and four popular domestic destinations: Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax and Vancouver. WestJet will continue to provide its non-stop service to Calgary, with connectivity onward to Western Canada. Additionally, Air Canada and The Landline Company will operate multiple daily departures between Hamilton International and Toronto Pearson, connecting travellers into the airline’s global network of destinations while starting and/or ending their journey in Hamilton via its luxury motorcoach service.
The Airport is also excited to confirm it has started work on its multi-million-dollar terminal enhancement project announced at the beginning of February. Construction is actively underway inside and outside of the terminal with exciting Airport enhancements to be unveiled this June including:
- An updated exterior frontage with new and expanded canopies to improve curbside flow, making arrivals and departures smoother and more convenient.

- Integration of new architectural elements and finishes inspired by the region’s natural geography, enhancing the Airport’s charming character and creating a unique sense of place.
- New digital signage and lighting upgrades, enhancing navigation and overall ambiance.
Future enhancements will include passenger jet bridges to connect the terminal directly to aircraft – a first for Hamilton International – and additional terminal infrastructure upgrades to position Hamilton International for future expansion to accommodate expected air traffic growth.
