Calgary/Springbank Airport

Calgary/Springbank Airport or Springbank Airport is an airport located in the Rocky View County community of Springbank, Alberta, an area to the west of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.

The Springbank Airport acts as a general aviation reliever for Calgary's main airport, Calgary International, the 5th busiest airport in Canada by total aircraft movements in 2020 and 2021. It is managed by the Calgary Airport Authority.

Due to its nature and location, Springbank is the base of operations for many flight training schools, providing flight training services for the greater Calgary area. It is home to the Calgary Flying Club, the Mount Royal University Aviation Diploma program, and the Springbank Air Training College. These operators provide various degrees of flight training, from Private Pilot to Commercial licences, and various licence ratings such as IFR, Multi-Engine, and Night. It also provides flight training for helicopter licensing, and offers many specialty programs, such as mountain flying instruction/concurrency programs.

In 2006, runway 16/34, now 17/35, was lengthened from 3000 to 5000 ft to better support larger airplanes. The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). CBSA officers at this airport can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.

This airport is also a base for aerial firefighting aircraft. A tanker base was constructed by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD ) and Conair operates a fleet of aircraft out of this base during the wildfire season.

The airport has been the host of the biennial Wings Over Springbank air show.
