Hamilton handles some discount flights and charters and acts as an alternate and reliever for Pearson. City Centre (which prohibits jet traffic) handles a large amount of air ambulance traffic and has scheduled commuter flights to Ottawa and Montreal , capitalizing on the airport's proximity to downtown Toronto.
