Niagara Falls International Airport

The Niagara Falls International Airport is strategically located in the middle of the Niagara region, within driving distance from the Greater Toronto area in Canada, and Buffalo and Rochester in the US. The catchment area for the airport (up to 90 minute drive) holds almost 8 million people, and is slated to grow at almost 100,000 people per year. The population size of the catchment area is estimated to be over 10 Million by 2036. The Niagara region is within 500 miles/800 kilometers of 41 percent of the United States population and 59 percent of the Canadian population.

Niagara's geography places it in the center of a key international market. Unlike any other region in the world, Buffalo Niagara is home to six international bridges, which facilitate $82 billion in annual trade between Canada and the United States. That's 14 percent of the total trade conducted between these two countries-the world's two largest trading partners.
