Summerside Airport

Summerside Airport is located 6.5 km north-northwest of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada, on the grounds of CFB Summerside, a former military base. The airport is one of only two on Prince Edward Island with instrument approaches for bad-weather operations (the other is Charlottetown).

History

The airport was formerly a military field, first RCAF Station Summerside, then CFB Summerside. During World War II, the field hosted two training schools for aircrews in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan: first No. 9 Service Flying Training School using the North American Harvard advanced trainer (the school later moved to Centralia, Ontario), then No. 1 General Reconnaisance School using the Avro Anson.
