Niagara District Airport (YCM) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Niagara District, Niagara Falls.
Niagara District is the region's own airport, on the St. Catharines side of the peninsula, and it is owned jointly by three municipalities: the City of Niagara Falls, the City of St. Catharines and the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. A nine-member Commission representing all three manages it, sets its strategic direction and operating policies, oversees the budgets and appoints the chief executive.
About 75 aircraft are based on the field. Its on-site services run to executive and personal charter, helicopter and fixed-wing sightseeing, an active flight training school, airport maintenance operations and a number of vintage aircraft. In July 2026 the Government of Ontario announced $9.7 million for design work on the expansion set out in the airport's 2025 to 2045 Master Plan, covering the runway, terminal and taxiways. Separately, since 15 June 2026 Air Canada and The Landline Company have connected the airport to Toronto Pearson by luxury motorcoach, with a second stop at the Marriott on the Falls in Niagara Falls.

How pickup works at Niagara District
Most arrivals here are charter or private, so a pickup is booked against the aircraft rather than a flight number. Give us the operator, the registration and the expected time, and dispatch confirms where the car waits.
Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from the aircraft's arrival are included, as on any airport pickup we run, and meet and greet applies here as well. On a field with no public arrivals hall it works the way it does at any private terminal: the chauffeur comes into the FBO or private terminal lounge where your aircraft is handled and meets you inside.
The motorcoach link to Toronto Pearson changes what this airport is for, and it is worth knowing when you plan ground transport: an onward connection from here is now a scheduled thing rather than an improvised one. Trips from Niagara District are in Ontario, so they book online with a fixed fare in Canadian dollars.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.
