ABOUT OUR AIRPORT

The Wiarton Keppel International Airport has served commercial and recreational pilots, visitors and business professionals to our facility which is conveniently located just two hours north of Toronto on the Bruce Peninsula and Niagara Escarpment. The airport provides a wealth of value to the Grey and Bruce Counties as a regional facility with a 24-hour Human Weather Observer onsite. Located on 800 acres of land, just two kilometres outside of Wiarton, Ontario, Canada.

We are a Canada Customs Airport of Entry and a Transport Canada Certified facility with services available 365 days per year. The airport has two runways and a joining taxiway system, and a public apron. The primary runway boasts a variety of IFR approaches. The secondary runway has a compact gravel surface. The airport provides both AVGAS (100LL) and Jet 'A' with Prist, aircraft parking areas and hosts a public terminal building with a pilot's lounge, accompanied with private shower, that is available 24 hours per day. The terminal building was dedicated to Eileen Vollick, the first licensed female pilot in Canada.
