Buttonville Municipal
Airport or Toronto/Buttonville Municipal Airport, (IATA: YKZ,
ICAO: CYKZ), is a medium-sized airport in Buttonville, Ontario, Canada,
within Markham and 29 km north of downtown Toronto. It is operated by
Toronto Airways Limited. Due to its proximity to Toronto's suburbs, there
are several strict noise-reduction procedures for aircraft using the airport.
There is a weather station located at the airport. The airport is open
and staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In 2007, Buttonville was
Canada's 8th busiest airport by aircraft movements.
The airport is classifed as
an airport of entry by NAV CANADA and is staffed by the Canada Border
Services Agency. CBSA officers at this airport currently can handle general
aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.
There are three non-precision
instrument approaches available: a Global Positioning System (GPS) approach
to runway 33, a non-directional beacon (NDB) approach to runway 21, and
a localizer approach to runway 15. Since the airport is inside the busy
Toronto terminal area, the availability of approaches depends heavily
on traffic flow to other airports.
