Brantford Municipal Airport (YFD) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Brantford, Hamilton.
Brantford Municipal is the aviation gateway for Brantford, Brant County, Haldimand Norfolk and the country around them, and it has one feature that sets it apart from the other general aviation fields on this site: it is a certified Canada Customs Airport of Entry. That means it can take domestic and international passenger and cargo aircraft, including corporate, recreational and charter flights, and clear them on arrival.
Airside operations are managed by the Brantford Flight Centre, and the amenities run to flight planning, aircraft maintenance, refuelling and FBO services. The field has two instrument approaches - an NDB/GPS overlay for runway 05 and an RNAV for runway 23 - and pilot-controlled runway lighting for night operations. The City puts it 90 km by road from Toronto.

How pickup works at Brantford
Because Brantford is an airport of entry, an international arrival here clears customs at the field rather than somewhere else first. That affects how long you take to come out, so tell us on the booking if you are arriving from abroad.
Pickups are arranged against the aircraft: give us the operator, the registration and the expected time, and dispatch confirms the meeting point at the FBO. Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from the aircraft's arrival are included.
Meet and greet applies at Brantford. Because this is an FBO rather than a passenger terminal, it means the chauffeur comes into the private terminal lounge and meets you inside - which, on an international arrival clearing customs at the field, is where you will actually come out.
The airport is in Ontario, so trips from it book online at a fixed Canadian-dollar fare.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.
