The Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation is a private, independent, not-for-profit corporation that owns and operates the Sault Ste. Marie Airport (CYAM). The Sault Ste. Marie Airport is one of few airports that is not directly affiliated with a municipality. The Sault Ste. Marie Airport provides most of its own services, including, water supply, sanitary sewage treatment, snow removal, vegetation control, and facility maintenance and repair.
We have a dedicated team to work with you to explore market opportunities and to facilitate your operations at the Sault Ste. Marie Airport.
