The airport has some good news – a new aircraft is taking off in the Sault.
“The Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation is pleased to welcome the new Bearskin aircraft to Sault Ste. Marie,” said airport President and CEO Terry Bos.
“Effective Jan. 4 Bearskin has introduced Dash 8 service to the Sault Ste. Marie market with one daily flight on Monday and Tuesday operating with Dash 8 service. We look forward to continued growth of Bearskin’s use of the Dash 8 aircraft in the future, and the comfort the larger aircraft provides to the passenger.”
Bearskin flies to other cities in northern Ontario, such as Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
The airport also released numbers for 2025.
Passenger numbers held almost steady in 2025 compared to 2024 for the Sault Ste. Marie Airport.
Totals last year were 153,202, down only slightly from 153,57 in 2024. However December to December saw a larger fall-off of 14 per cent – from 13,252 in 2024 to 11,391 in 2025.
The current number of flights provided is as follows: Air Canada Express, two flights daily; Bearskin Airlines, three flights daily Sunday and Monday, four flights daily Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and five flights Wednesday; Porter one flight daily.
More information about flights to and from the Sault airport is available here.
