2025 numbers are released. 329,595 passengers travelled to/from Hamilton International. That is an annual increase of… 432 passengers… Quite surprised the number is so low despite the Porter domestic service launching last summer. The year prior captured Air Transat, a very brief run of...

Here is the updated Departures/Arrivals schedule for the summer. Pretty sure I got all the numbers right this time. I've also added a new historical summer stats overview to look at how we're doing compared to previous summers! I added the yearly total passengers just for reference.

Yah those Ottawa prices aren't going to fly.$328 one way in the summer? Nobody is paying that premium. They might be betting on connections, but thats why they have YHU. Announcing and launching both YHU and YOW is a bit of a head scratcher... I'm not sure if we can support both in the current...

The Montreal flight schedule isn't lining up; it does look like Ottawa may be coming our way... which I unfortunately think is an overkill... YHM-YHU Departure: 0615 YHM-YHU Departure: 1550 YHU-YHM Arrival: 1725 YHU-YHM Arrival: 2025 There would need to be a Q400 arrival from somewhere...

YHM-YHU will be operated on the Dash-8 aircraft. Will post a new YHM schedule later today.

Air Canada made YUL work but couldn’t keep the economics despite having lots of international options… perhaps timing was off? Porter is really hoping on making MET a massive feed network — it’ll be imperative for flight times to line up perfectly to minimize delays. However, we already have...

Hopefully with confirmation that the AHL is coming in, OVG will be able to create temporary/retractable seats that go over the floor suites. The floor suite view for hockey is pretty poor, given the glass and flat seats ahead of it.

Here are the December DoT numbers for Porter. Hamilton FLL: 2497/3696 = 67.6% MCO: 1573/2244 = 70.1% Combined: 4070/5940 = 68.5% YHM had the lowest load factor when compared to YOW, YUL, YHZ, and YYZ. However, this is the first season for these routes where the others are now in their 2nd...

the only problem is that I think this would close the access for the baggage trucks to access the baggage claim. I flew in on Thursday and it was nice to use the jet bridge. I did notice the jetway hallway didn’t have any heat on so it was shocked when I got a breeze of cool air when I got off...

Will certainly have to. Will wait to see if these Air Transat rumours come to light

Better announce soon! Very curious where they'll attempt to fly to. I'm also shocked they are considering YHM when they have a fortress in Quebec and YYZ. The airport needs to continue to heavily advertise new and existing routes from YHM.

Current Summer 2026 schedule from YHM! As of now, Westjet is slated for 1x daily (same as last summer), except its now an afternoon departure/arrival instead of the night arrival and morning departure. Vancouver frequency cut from 14x weekly to 11x weekly. Comparing Previous Summers Year...

Porter has announced 2 new routes this summer. St. John’s (YYT) - 5x weekly starting May 15th (Wed-Sun) Winnipeg (YWG) - 5x weekly starting May 15th (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat) Porter has announced the following frequency increases over summer. Fort Lauderdale - 2x weekly Halifax - 14x weekly...

I think an AHL farm team for a Canadian team would work. There were quite a few habs fan in the Hamilton area when the Bulldogs were the affiliate of the Canadiens. I think the move to Laval was to help with distance between the farm team and the main team. I feel if the Marlies or the Condors...

CONFIRMED: Bridgeport Islanders relocating to Hamilton this fall.
