One of the most unique ways to experience Muskoka is from the air! 

Muskoka Airport (CYQA) is operated by Muskoka Airport Inc. A Municipal Services Corporation (MSC), with the District of Muskoka as the 100% shareholder, that appoints a Board of Directors to oversee and guide the actions of the MSC. As a Transport Canada Certified facility, the airport provides a vital link to the air transportation industry in the Muskoka area. Muskoka Airport operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.

During the summer season, the Muskoka Airport sees over 70% of its annual 15,000 aircraft movements from charter companies, corporate flights and recreational flyers. Designated as an 'Airport of Entry - 15' by the Canadian Border Security Services Agency (CBSA), many of the larger business jets that frequent the airport during the summer months are from the United States and overseas. The airport is of great value to the Muskoka tourist industry and the local economy. 

The airport also provides a variety of community and social services. Air ambulances move sick and injured patients to hospitals routinely. Electrical power companies survey and repair our remote power lines with helicopters, especially after high winds or snowstorms. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources frequently stages their water-bombers at the airport during periods of high risk for forest fires. The airport was a significant transportation hub during the 2010 G8 summit held in Huntsville. Many other government organizations use the airport including the Ontario Provincial Police, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Corrections Canada, and the Department of National Defence. 

The Muskoka Airport continues to move forward to ensure it serves our community needs. One of the many improvements was the addition of the Little Norway Memorial in 2007. This addition to the air terminal building ensures that passengers and pilots that arrive in Muskoka are treated to a first class and memorable facility, fitting to a Muskoka Experience.
