Our Mission
The Edmonton City Centre Airport is a major economic driver. According to an Intervista’s study conducted in 2005, the City Centre Airport creates over 900 direct jobs and generated over $651 million in economic activity. Major activities at the airport include medevacs, charters, corporate aviation, flight training and aircraft maintenance. In 2008 there were 82,454 aircraft movements at the airport.
Meanwhile, many Edmontonians are not even aware that the airport is open let alone the community that exists. Something had to be done. Out of that need, the Aviation Edmonton Association was formed to “promote and create awareness of the aviation community at the City Centre Airport”.
General Aviation
General aviation refers to all flights other than military and scheduled airline flights, both private and commercial. General aviation covers a huge range of activities, both commercial and non-commercial, including private flying, flight training, air ambulance, police aircraft, aerial firefighting, air charter, bush flying, gliding, aircraft maintenance and storage, aircraft research, and a variety of specialized aviation related services.
Many activities are carried out at the Edmonton City Centre Airport. Just look at the list of businesses providing aviation related services.
