Gananoque Airport

Gananoque Airport (Template:Comma separated entries) is Template:Convert northwest of the town of Gananoque, Ontario, Canada, located on the border of Kingston and Leeds and the Thousand Islands. It is currently a major centre for skydiving, as well as one of the three Canadian airports serving the Thousand Islands (along with Kingston/Norman Rogers Airport and Brockville Regional Tackaberry Airport).

History

The Gananoque Airport was a relief landing field for RCAF Station Kingston (now Kingston/Norman Rogers Airport) during World War II, and with Kingston, participated in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The field preserves the original, classic BCATP triangular runway arrangement along with some of the original wartime structures.

Since 1971, the airport has been utilized as a sports skydiving dropzone with jumps available to the general public.

Present day (2024), aircraft taking off and landing at the Gananoque airport routinely use runway 18/36. The other runways are still visible, however the condition of 06/24 and 12/30 make them significantly less attractive when compared to 18/36.
