src: upload.wikimedia.org

Calgary/Springbank Airport or Springbank Airport, (ICAO: CYBW) is an airport located in Springbank, Alberta, a large western suburb of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The airport is located within rural Rocky View County.

Springbank Airport acts as a general aviation reliever for Calgary's main airport, Calgary International, and was the 6th busiest airport in Canada by total aircraft movements in 2016. In 2006, runway 16/34, now 17/35, was lengthened from 3,000 to 5,000 ft (914 to 1,524 m) to better support larger airplanes.

Due to its nature and location, Springbank is the base of operations for many flight training schools, providing flight training services for the greater Calgary area. It is home to the Calgary Flying Club, Fly Right, the Mount Royal University Aviation Diploma program, Springbank Aero Flight Training Institute, and the Springbank Air Training College, among others. These operators provide various degrees of flight training, from Private Pilot to Commercial licences, and various licence ratings such as IFR, Multi-Engine, and Night. It also provides flight training for Helicopter licensing, and offers many specialty programs, such as Mountain Flying instruction/concurrency programs.

The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). CBSA officers at this airport can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.

This airport is also a base for aerial firefighting aircraft. A tanker base was constructed by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD) and Conair operates a fleet of aircraft out of this base during the wild fire season.
