Canadian Travelers
The proximity of Buffalo Niagara International Airport to the 8.4 million residents of Ontario's Golden Horseshoe region makes it a very popular airport for Canadians traveling to U.S. destinations. In fact, about one of every three passengers utilizing the airport is from Canada. Airfares from Canadian airports to the U.S. are generally higher due to multiple issues, including fewer competing airlines in Canada; higher taxes, customs and immigration surcharges imposed on international flights; higher operating costs; a higher than historic value of the Canadian dollar; and airport improvement fees imposed on travelers at Canadian airports. There are many shuttles between the airport and cities throughout Southern Ontario, as well as to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
