Markham Airport (CNU8) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Markham, Toronto.
Markham Airport is a small aerodrome north-east of the city, operated by Markham Airport Inc. and listed by the Province of Ontario in its official airport layer under the identifier CNU8 and the name Toronto/Markham. It serves light and private aircraft, not business jets: the Canada Flight Supplement entry gives it a single asphalt runway, 09/27, of 2,013 feet by 50, at an elevation of 807 feet, and prior permission is required for every landing.
There is no airline service, no terminal building of the kind you would recognise from Pearson, no fixed base operator and no passenger lounge. We list it because a pickup from a field like this is a real request and it is easy to get wrong. A driver sent to "Markham Airport" without knowing which gate and which aircraft will spend the arrival circling a perimeter road. Booking it as an airport pickup rather than as an address is what stops that happening.
Meet & Greet
Your chauffeur meets you at the aircraft parking area or pilot building, with a name sign, and takes your luggage to the car.
60 minutes of waiting
Complimentary on every airport pickup, measured from when your aircraft lands.
Timed to the aircraft
Booked against your operator and tail number rather than a published schedule.
Door-to-door
Direct to your destination, with no stops you did not ask for.
How pickup works at Markham
A pickup at Markham is timed to your aircraft, not to a schedule. Tell us the operator you are flying with and a tail number or charter reference when you book. On the Booking Details step, the tail number goes in the Flight number field - it expects an airline number, so it will ask you to confirm anything else and “Use this anyway” is the right answer - and the operator's name goes in Special requests just below. Dispatch agrees the meeting point on the field with you before the day.
Meet and greet applies at Markham, in the form a light-aircraft field allows: your chauffeur meets you at the aircraft parking area or the pilot building on arrival, with a name sign, and carries your luggage to the car. Markham is a small light-aircraft field, so your chauffeur meets you out on the field rather than in a lounge - which is where you will be standing anyway.
Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from the aircraft's arrival applies here in full, which on a field this size is comfortable rather than tight, and the rate after that is the one published in clause 4 of our Terms. Everything else about the booking works exactly as it does at a commercial terminal.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.

Questions about Markham
Is there a terminal to meet in at Markham?
Markham is a small light-aircraft field rather than a passenger airport, so there is no terminal building to meet in. Your chauffeur meets you at the aircraft parking area or the pilot building instead, with a name sign, and takes your luggage to the car. Dispatch agrees the exact spot with you against the aircraft you are arriving on.
Is meet and greet available here?
Yes, and it is charged as its own line on the fare, the same as at any of the 32 airports on this site. What differs is the room: at a commercial terminal your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb, at a private field in the FBO lounge, and at Markham - which has neither - out at the aircraft parking area or the pilot building, with a name sign.
What kind of aircraft can land at Markham?
Light and private aircraft. The runway is 2,013 feet long, which rules out business jets, and prior permission is required for every landing. If you are on a jet, Oshawa Executive, Brampton-Caledon and Burlington Executive are the nearer alternatives and each has a page here.
What do you need from me to book it?
The operator, a tail number or charter reference, and the arrival time you have been given. On the Booking Details step, put the tail number in the Flight number field and the operator in Special requests; the flight field expects an airline number, so it will ask you to confirm a tail number and you can use it as entered. That replaces the airline flight number we would use at a commercial airport, since nothing here publishes arrivals we can track. Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from arrival are included as usual.
