Twenty-five years ago today, when the skies above the US closed, Canadian runways absorbed more than 200 diverted transatlantic flights and welcomed more than 33,000 stranded passengers.
Today, as we remember the lives lost as a result of 9/11, Canada's airports also reflect on the enduring bonds forged that week. From Gander to Vancouver, Halifax to Calgary, our airports remain deeply committed to the spirit of sanctuary, partnership, and cross-border trust that defines North American aviation. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

A little piece of history touched down at #YKF today. The Avro Lancaster Mk.X stopped in at YKF for a quick refueling while out on a flight today.
The historic aircraft, built in 1945, resides at the @CWHM in Hamilton ✈️.

It shouldn't be a journey just to get to the airport. Since 2019, YKF has experienced the fastest passenger growth of all Canadian airports, increasing by 554% in 5 years. Now more than ever, passengers are choosing smaller airports to #FlyFromHome.
