London International Airport

London International Airport is about 10 km northeast of downtown London, Ontario. Taxis and limousines wait outside the terminal, Uber and Lyft pick up at the curb, and London Transit buses also serve the airport. The airport sits on the city's northeast edge, close to Fanshawe College.

No. YXU is London International Airport in London, Ontario, Canada. It has no connection to London, England, whose airports include Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), Stansted (STN), Luton (LTN) and London City (LCY). When booking or tagging bags, check that the code reads YXU and the destination shows Ontario, Canada, to avoid a costly mix-up.

London International Airport has one terminal that handles all domestic, US and sun-destination flights. Check-in, security, Canada Border Services Agency customs and baggage claim are all in the same building. With only a few flights at a time, distances inside the terminal are short and the walk from gate to curb takes little time.

Air Canada flies between London and Toronto Pearson several times a day, and WestJet serves Calgary year-round and Winnipeg seasonally. Porter Airlines begins winter flights to Cancún, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Montego Bay from November 2026. Leisure carriers have also flown seasonal routes to Mexico and the Caribbean, so check the airport's route map for the current season.

Yes. Licensed taxis and limousines operate outside the terminal and charge regulated rates set by the city. The ride to downtown London covers about 10 km. Late at night, when few flights land, fewer cars may be waiting, so travelers arriving on the last flights sometimes call a taxi company or use a rideshare app instead.

Yes. London Transit Commission buses serve the airport about 14 times a day, and Route 36 links the terminal with Fanshawe College; from there you can change to other routes for downtown. The bus is the cheapest option, but the trip takes longer than a taxi and is awkward with large bags.

Yes. Uber and Lyft both operate at London International Airport. Pick-up is at the curb in front of the terminal, next to the arrivals door at the north end of the sidewalk. Waiting times depend on how many drivers are nearby, which can vary late at night or when several flights arrive together.

Most visa-exempt foreign nationals need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to board a flight to Canada, including flights that connect through Toronto to London. US citizens and Canadian citizens and permanent residents do not need one. Travelers from countries that require a visa need a Canadian visitor visa instead. Apply only through the Government of Canada website.

London is about two hours from the Greater Toronto Area by road, mostly along Highway 401. From the airport you can drive or take a private transfer, or connect by air through Toronto Pearson on Air Canada's flights. VIA Rail trains to Toronto leave from London's downtown station, not from the airport, so you need a taxi or bus first.

A daily bus runs between London International Airport and Sarnia; the City of Sarnia publishes the current timetable on its website. Other options are a rental car from the counters in the terminal or a pre-booked private transfer. VIA Rail also serves Sarnia from London's downtown station, which you reach by taxi or city bus from the airport.

London, Ontario, is on Eastern Time, UTC−5, and observes daylight saving time at UTC−4 from March to November, the same as Toronto and New York. Canada uses the Canadian dollar, and cards are widely accepted. Winters bring snow and freezing temperatures, so keep a warm coat handy if you land between December and March.

The Greater London International Airport Authority has operated the airport since 1998, with Transport Canada as owner. YXU handled about 298,000 passengers in 2025, well below its 2019 record of about 683,000. It is a designated port of entry, with Canada Border Services Agency officers processing international arrivals in the terminal.
