Places to Fly is Canada’s largest and most comprehensive on-line airport directory. It has information other directories don’t have – like landing fees, fuel prices, hotels and restaurants. But we still have some distance to go.

The Canada Flight Supplement lists some 1,400 airports and aerodromes, so we aren’t quite halfway there yet. Ultimately there are about 5,000 places to land an airplane in Canada, most of them local airstrips. Eventually we hope to have them all catalogued in Places to Fly, but we need your help.

If you know of a place to land an airplane then please enter it!
