History
CYQS was
established in 1941 as an air training base for the British Commonwealth Air
Training Program. The base was operated by the Department of National Defence
until the late 1940’s as a relief field for Aylmer and Fingal.
The airport was
purchased by the City of St. Thomas in 1970 and has been a critical part of the
municipal infrastructure since. The runway was extended from 3,000 to 5,050 ft
in 1982 and upgraded in 2001.
