The Red Deer Regional Airport
was built during World War II to train Allied forces. The airport was
a former Canadian Air Force pilot training base for NATO pilots until
1965.
The Military built the training
airfield at this site because of the predominantly good flying weather
and the un-congested airspace. Both factors are still valid today. The
Red Deer area boasts good flying weather over 95% of the year.
The City of Red Deer took over
operation of the airport in 1965 and the Province extended the main runway
16/34 to 5528 feet in 1980 bringing it up to "737" standards.
The ownership of the airport was taken over on September 1st, 1999 by
the Red Deer Regional Airport Authority which includes the City of Red
Deer, Red Deer County and the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce as stakeholders.
