Brampton (National "P") Heliport

The heliport was closed due to a cessation of operational need by its owner and operator. It was a private heliport, and its closure was likely an internal business decision based on economic factors. The high cost of helicopter operations may no longer have been justified for its intended purpose (e.g., executive transport, security), or alternative methods like drones or enhanced ground security became more cost-effective.

The site of the former heliport is now fully integrated into the ground operations of the CN Brampton Intermodal Terminal. The specific coordinates (43.811584, -79.698442) point to a large, paved marshalling area within the terminal, which is actively used for staging shipping containers, truck maneuvering, and other logistical activities. There are no remaining visual markings or dedicated infrastructure indicating its past use as a heliport.

The heliport, designated Brampton (National 'P'), was a private facility located at and operated by the Canadian National (CN) Railway for its Brampton Intermodal Terminal. The 'National' in its name refers to Canadian National. Its operations were exclusively for private corporate use, likely including executive transport to and from the major logistics hub, aerial security patrols of the vast terminal grounds, and potentially for emergency response. It held no significance for public travel and was not accessible to the general public. The identifier 'CA-1086' is not a standard ICAO or Transport Canada code but appears to be a unique identifier used by certain third-party aviation databases.

There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening this heliport. The land is an integral part of one of Canada's busiest inland ports, and its use for ground logistics is of primary importance to CN's operations. Re-establishing a heliport would require a significant, unforeseen shift in CN's operational strategy and is considered highly improbable.
