[4] In 2005, Sunwing Airlines offered direct flights to Varadero, Cuba from the Sudbury airport every Wednesdays for the 2005 - 2006 winter season.

In June 2008, under recommendation from Nav Canada following a year-long aeronautical study, the control tower was closed mainly due to lack of traffic.

In March 2012, after WestJet confirmed its plans to launch a regional airline, Gregg Saretsky said in an interview with The Globe and Mail that Sudbury was one of the cities where the company was considering expanding its service.

Airport tenants include a training facility operated by MAG Aerospace and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's Sudbury Forest Fire Management Centre.

COVID-19 had impact to carrier flights serving the airport post pandemic when other markets had seen traffic volumes significantly recover.
