  "connection_tips": "Chris Hadfield Airport serves as southwestern Ontario's primary cross-border general aviation facility, located 4 nautical miles east-northeast of Sarnia and just minutes from the US-Michigan border. The airport offers excellent proximity for business travelers needing quick access to both Canadian and US markets. Cross-border flights to Michigan airports are common given the strategic location. The uncontrolled airport (no tower) operates at 595 feet MSL with 8\u00b0 West magnetic variation in UTC-5 timezone.\n\nScottsdale Aviation provides comprehensive Fixed-Base Operator services including Jet A-1 and 100LL fuel, hangar storage, tie-downs, ground power, de-icing, maintenance, and pilot training. Since 2020, no scheduled commercial service operates following Air Canada Express withdrawal - all flights are now charter and general aviation. Charter operators provide regular service to major hubs when commercial travel is required. CBSA clearance procedures are streamlined for general aviation but require advance coordination.\n\nFor commercial connections, passengers typically route through Toronto Pearson (YYZ), Windsor (YQG), or Detroit (DTW) via charter services. Airport operations run 8 AM-5 PM Monday-Friday, 8 AM-3 PM weekends/holidays, with after-hours service available via 2-hour notice (519-542-7767 or 519-381-3444). The airport is designated as a CBSA Airport of Entry/30, authorizing clearance for aircraft with up to 30 passengers with prior notice required (call 1-888-226-7277, 8 AM-11 PM daily). Rental cars and ground transportation readily available for onward travel to Toronto, Detroit, or other Great Lakes destinations.",

  "terminal_info": "Chris Hadfield Airport features a modest but functional terminal building designed primarily for general aviation and charter operations, reflecting its transition from commercial service to specialized aviation services. The single-story terminal structure provides essential passenger amenities including a comfortable waiting area, restrooms, and administrative offices operated by Scottsdale Aviation, the airport's fixed-base operator responsible for day-to-day operations on behalf of the City of Sarnia.\n\nThe terminal includes automated parking payment systems located inside the building, allowing departing passengers convenient access to pay for their desired parking duration. Ample parking spaces accommodate both short-term passenger drop-offs and extended stays for aircraft owners utilizing hangar services. The facility operates with staffed services from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM on weekends and holidays, with after-hours services available through advance notice.\n\nAs a designated CBSA Airport of Entry/30, the terminal includes customs clearance facilities capable of processing up to 30 passengers for international arrivals, though prior notice to Canada Border Services Agency is required (1-888-226-7277). The customs area provides efficient processing for cross-border flights, particularly popular given the airport's strategic location just minutes from the US-Michigan border. Business travelers and private aircraft owners frequently utilize these international clearance capabilities for seamless cross-border travel.\n\nThe terminal supports various aviation businesses including Huron Aviation's fixed-base operator services, Huron Flight Services for flight training and maintenance, and chartered flight operations. While commercial airline service ended in 2020, the facility remains fully certified and maintains modern infrastructure including aircraft de-icing capabilities, ground power, fuel services (both Jet A-1 and 100LL), and comprehensive maintenance services. The building's design efficiently accommodates both departing passengers and visiting pilots, with clear signage directing users to appropriate services and amenities within the compact but well-organized space.",
