COVID-19 pandemic, there’s been a lot of activity at Hamilton’s airport.Cargo activity at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport — measured in maximum take-off weight — was up 20 per cent in September, compared to the same time period in 2019.Dina Carlucci, director of business development and customer experience for the airport, said the “lion’s share” of that traffic has been driven by e-commerce, primarily through Cargojet and DHL — two of the airport’s major carriers.“E-commerce has been what has caused these airlines to thrive in years past, even before the pandemic,” said Carlucci.
