Flights to Toronto
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Toronto is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 11,120-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM, 73 km), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ, 9 km), Niagara District Airport (YCM, 60 km), Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG, 76 km), Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF, 84 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto Pearson International Airport | YYZ | 19 km (12 mi) | 11,120 ft | 569 ft |
| John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport | YHM | 73 km (45 mi) | 10,006 ft | 780 ft |
| Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (regional) | YTZ | 9 km (6 mi) | 3,988 ft | 252 ft |
| Niagara District Airport (regional) | YCM | 60 km (37 mi) | 5,000 ft | 321 ft |
| Niagara Falls International Airport (regional) | IAG | 76 km (47 mi) | 9,826 ft | 589 ft |
| Region of Waterloo International Airport (regional) | YKF | 84 km (52 mi) | 7,003 ft | 1,054 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,120 ft, YYZ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 569 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
