Langley Regional Airport is located in Langley Township, British Columbia, Canada. It serves mostly general aviation, and also provided scheduled passenger service to the Victoria Airport Water Aerodrome via seaplanes operated by Harbour Air before service was ended on May 20, 2011. Helicopter operations are a major part of Langley Airport's traffic; the airport has two helipads.
The airport offers fuel services and extensive hangar space, and hosts the Canadian Museum of Flight.
General information
The airport has two asphalt runways, one and the other . These relatively short runways make it a good airport for flight training purposes because a pilot who trains on short runways is likely to be more capable. There is also a public road near each end of the paved runway (01/19) resulting in relatively short "Takeoff Distance Available" (TODA).
History
In 1945, at the end of World War II, the township of Langley leased the former Royal Canadian Air Force airport from the federal government before purchasing the airport outright in 1967 for $24,300. Since then, the airport has been in continuous operation.
