Air Canada and Porter Airlines fly regularly to/from Toronto to Sudbury and you can catch a flight with Bearskin Air to a number of northern communities. The charter business does well as it serves the mining camps from here.
The airport has all the necessary services, albeit in a small size that is appropriate given the traffic flow. There is a full service bistro style restaurant upstairs that overlooks the apron, several car rental agencies, free wifi, and vending machines (but beware - a soda once cost me $10 because I didn't get change back!).
According to Wikipedia: Sudbury Airport began as an emergency landing facility with a single 6,600 ft (2,000 m) landing strip for CF-100s from Canadian Forces Base North Bay in 1952. Regular commercial air service began on February 1, 1954, by Trans-Canada Air Lines. The air traffic control tower was added in 1972 and the terminal building was replaced with a larger one in 1973, which was renovated and expanded again in the early 2000s.
