Airport Accessibility

We are continuously working to create a barrier-free facility for all of our guests, passengers, and and employees, while ensuring that our feedback process is easy and effective. As part of this effort, the Airport is committed to continuous improvement to ensure services are accessible and barrier-free to make all visits convenient and enjoyable.

Airport Accessibility & Feedback Process

We're committed to continually improving our operations, services and facilities.

The Greater Sudbury Airport’s Accessibility Plan & Feedback Process is a comprehensive strategy to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their abilities, can access and navigate through our airport facilities safely, comfortably, and efficiently. Our Accessibility Plan is a working document and is continuously being reviewed as part of our commitment to effectively assist anyone with varying abilities and to better understand their unique needs and preferences. As an airport, we also value everyone’s your input regarding our Accessibility Plan and Feedback Process and any observations you may have regarding accessibility within our premises. We are dedicated to reviewing and responding to feedback received, and we commit to take active measures to minimize any barriers identified through our feedback process.
