Pearson and Hamilton have [[Scheduled air transport|scheduled passenger service]], however the vast majority of passenger traffic goes through Toronto's Pearson International Airport, which is Canada's busiest airport and the country's major hub. Hamilton handles some discount flights and charters and acts as an alternate to Pearson. City Centre handles a large amount of air ambulance traffic and recently, the newly launched passenger airline Porter Airlines. Buttonville formerly had scheduled passenger service from Ottawa operated by [[Bearskin Airlines]], but it has been discontinued. Hamilton is popular with charters and discount airlines who want to avoid fees at Pearson, which is among the world's most expensive airports. |

==Proposed Airports== |
|||
There is a tentative proposal to develop a new, [[Pickering Airport]] northeast of the city, to complement Pearson on the west side of Toronto. The development of this airport would likely result in the closure of the Oshawa, Markham, and Buttonville airports, all of which are located near the proposed site. |
|||
==Historical Airports== |
|||
The following airports once served the area but have since been closed: |
|||
* [[Armour Heights Field]] - opened [[1917]] by '''Royal Flying Corps''' and closed in 1919. |
|||
* [[Barker Field]] - opened [[1927]] and closed in [[1953]]; south of current Downsview Airport, now site of a dealership |
|||
* [[Downsview Airfield]] - opened 1929, home of '''De Havilland''' at site of current Downsview site. |
|||
* [[Leaside Aerodrome]] - opened [[1917]] by '''Royal Flying Corps'' (later as '''Royal Air Force''') and later used by '''Toronto Flying Club'''. The aerodrome closed in [[1931]]. |
|||
