was considering expanding its service. However, Sudbury was not chosen as a destination. The manager of the airport suggested in 2014 that the airport would have to see considerable growth in passenger traffic before WestJet would consider returning to Sudbury. In February 2017, WestJet did return to Sudbury using WestJet Encore for three daily flights to Toronto's Pearson International Airport, but stopped again in October 2018. WestJet had previously operated flights between Sudbury and Hamilton between 2001 and 2004. Airport tenants include a training facility operated by MAG Aerospace and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's Sudbury Forest Fire Management Centre. COVID-19 had impact to carrier flights serving the airport post pandemic when other markets had seen traffic volumes significantly recover. With drastic cuts on its regional fleet, Air Canada is down to two direct flights to Toronto Pearson a day with no direct competition. Fares for same week return travel with Air Canada have recently exceeded $US1100 though one way flight time is under 60 minutes. Porter is down to one flight a day but with no same day return service when flying from Toronto Island.
