๐จ๐ฆ Cornwall, Canada
Cornwall Regional Airport features a comprehensive terminal complex positioned 7 nautical miles east-northeast of Cornwall, Ontario, serving eastern Ontario's United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry with facilities configured for both domestic and international general aviation operations. The terminal building provides essential passenger services alongside the airport commission hangar and multiple general aviation hangar lots, supporting year-round operations at 175 feet elevation near the historic Summerstown area. As a designated Airport of Entry staffed by Canada Border Services Agency on a call-out basis from the Three Nations Crossing, the facility maintains customs processing capabilities for general aviation aircraft carrying up to 15 passengers, requiring advance coordination through CANPASS or by calling 888-226-7277 between 13:00-22:00 UTC.
The airport infrastructure centers on a single 3,510-foot paved runway (10/28) with 100-foot width featuring asphalt surface maintained year-round for snow and ice removal, equipped with pilot-controlled lighting enabling 24-hour VFR and IFR operations. Two published instrument approaches facilitate all-weather accessibility, while UNICOM communications on 122.775 MHz provide advisory services within 5 nautical miles and below 3,200 feet ASL. Essential aviation support includes 24-hour self-serve fuel facilities offering both aviation gas and Jet A, complemented by public parking areas, maintenance services, and ground support equipment housed within the commission hangar complex.
Jointly operated by the Cornwall Regional Airport Commission with funding from the City of Cornwall and Township of South Glengarry, the facility serves as eastern Ontario's strategic aviation gateway positioned near the US-Canada border along the St. Lawrence River corridor. The airport's location offers convenient alternatives to congested major airports, with Montreal 45 minutes west and Ottawa 90 minutes northwest, making it attractive for business aviation, corporate travel, and cross-border operations. The terminal supports diverse aviation activities including flight training schools, recreational flying clubs, charter operations, and emergency medical services while maintaining its role as a vital economic development tool for the region's aerospace, manufacturing, and tourism sectors throughout the historic St. Lawrence Valley.
