Air Services

We have a dedicated team to work with you to explore market opportunities and to facilitate your operations at the Sault Ste. Marie Airport.

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.

But...Why Here?

Sault Ste. Marie is located at the heart of Canada and the heart of the Great Lakes, only minutes from the international border and I-75. We are at the centre of it all.
