How does Villeneuve Airport support YEG?
Villeneuve Airport offers a non-congested and accessible location for general aviation in our region.
It supports YEG and the Edmonton Region by providing capacity for:
- Commercial general aviation
- General aviation for small fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft for private, corporate or commercial purposes
- Alternate space for air ambulance operations
- Wide range of services for private and commercial operations in both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft
- Flight training
- Compatible aircraft maintenance
Villeneuve Airport is an important satellite airport to YEG because it ensures safe and efficient operations by diverting small general aviation, recreational and training aircraft away from the larger airport.
