Kingston Airport — or Kingston/Norman
Rogers Airport — (IATA: YGK, ICAO: CYGK) is located 4.3 nautical miles
(7.96 km) west of the downtown of Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
Kingston's municipally owned airport is named
for the Honourable Norman Rogers, MP for Kingston and the Islands, who
was elected to the House of Commons in 1935. Within the year, he became
Minister of Labour and later Minister of Defence, serving under Prime
Minister MacKenzie King. The Honourable Norman Rogers was killed in a
plane crash on June 10, 1940, while on Government business.
Currently, the airport occupies 800 acres
of land located eight kilometres west of Kingston's downtown core. Businesses
and organizations at the airport employ a total of 144 people and the
2005 economic impact study indicates that gross revenues generated by
airport in 2005 were estimated to be $39 million for the provincial economy.
HISTORY
The airport is named after former MP Norman
McLeod Rogers (Kingston and the Islands 1935-1940), Minister of Labor
and then National Defense in Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King's
cabinet. Rogers died in a plane crash on June 10, 1940 while flying from
Ottawa to Toronto for a speaking engagement.
The Kingston airport was originally a British
Commonwealth Air Training Program (BCATP) air force station built in 1940
at the beginning of World War II. The aerodrome hosted the Royal Air Force
No. 31 Service Flying Training School, which provided advanced flight
training to 958 pilots in Battle and Harvard aircraft. A decommissioned
yellow Harvard aircraft now stands on a pedestal near the airport entrance
to commemorate that role. The airport was transferred to city control
in 1974.
Originally, the airport had three 2,500 foot
runways. Later, runway 01/19 was extended northwards to a length of 5,000
feet to handle larger aircraft, and runway 07/25 was extended northeastwards
to a length of nearly 4,000 feet. The remaining runway, 12/30, was decommissioned
in 2003 and converted to a taxiway.
OPERATIONS
Norman Rogers is a mandatory frequency airport
with an operating flight service station. Air Canada Jazz offers regular
scheduled air service between the airport and Toronto Pearson International
Airport. Brock Air Services operates an on-demand charter service, and
is a provincially contracted air ambulance provider. The airport also
supports a large amount of general aviation traffic including flight training,
and general recreational flying. As the only public airport to offer an
ILS approach along the corridor between Montreal and Toronto, the Kingston
airport is an important alternate during low weather conditions.
