Peterborough Regional Airport
Template:Short description Template:Infobox airport
Peterborough Regional Airport (Template:Comma separated entries) is located Template:Convert south-southwest of the city of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. It includes a main Template:Convert asphalt runway oriented east-west, and a smaller Template:Convert paved (2014) runway oriented northwest-southeast. A new terminal building was built in 2011. Aircraft completions company Flying Colours Corp. is the largest tenant at the airport.
The airport, despite having a Peterborough address and being owned and operated by the City of Peterborough, is located outside the City's borders in the Township of Cavan Monaghan in Peterborough County, which the City is independent of.[1]
The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) on a call-out basis from the Oshawa Executive Airport. CBSA officers at this airport can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.[2]
Work has been completed to expand an existing Template:Convert asphalt runway to Template:Convert, making the runway capable of handling larger aircraft such as the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737.[3]
Seneca Polytechnic relocated its School of Aviation Technology to Peterborough Regional Airport in January 2014, after their former airport Buttonville was scheduled to close. Seneca had 170 students in classes at its new facility in 2014. The $8.6 million contract was awarded to Mortlock Construction Inc. Mortlock significantly expanded an existing building that the city owned at the airport to about 46,000 square feet from 21,000 square feet, and completed the interior of the structure to the college's specifications with offices, rooms for flight simulators, classrooms, a student lounge, washrooms and a kitchen. Seneca's School of Aviation and Flight Technology has 19 aircraft at the airport.[4][5]
