History
The airport was formerly a military airfield, established in 1940 as RCAF Station Summerside, changing
its name to CFB Summerside in 1968. The base was active in training aircrews in the British Commonwealth
Air Training Plan during World War II and hosting search and rescue (SAR) and coastal surveillance units
during the Cold War. CFB Summerside was closed in 1990 and transferred to a local development authority
named Slemon Park Corporation. The base property is now referred to as Slemon Park and the airfield has
been named Summerside Airport. The airport is home to several aircraft maintenance companies, as well as a small general aviation community.
Summerside Airport's airfield and terminal facilities are located in the township of Lot 17 and not in the city of Summerside proper; the municipal
boundary is adjacent to the airport property with the city including the residential area of Slemon Park but not the airfield and industrial properties.
Past scheduled passenger airline service
The airport was served by Eastern Provincial Airways during the 1960s and early 1970s which operated nonstop flights to Moncton and the Magdalen
Islands as well as direct service via a stop at the Charlottetown Airport to Halifax, Sydney, Deer Lake, Gander and St. John's with Douglas DC-3 prop
aircraft and Handley Page Dart Herald turboprop aircraft. In 1995, Atlantic Island Airways was operating
Fokker F28 Fellowship jet service with nonstop flights from Ottawa as well as direct one stop service from Toronto.
