The Pembroke and Area Airport sees close to 5,000 aircraft movements each year. The airport has a 5,000-foot x 100-foot asphalt runway as well as a full-length paved taxiway and a full-service terminal building with a ramp for parking.  It is the only certified airport between Carp and North Bay.

The military, life-saving services, businesses, and tourists are among the users who benefit from having this local airport in our rural community. The airport supports Ontario’s Air Ambulance program, assists with supporting Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources fire fighting of 1,200 to 1,600 fires per year, provides aerial support for resource management of wildlife, fish, forest fires, floods, low water, dam failures and more, supports the RCMP and OPP in aerial policing activities and contributes to tourism opportunities. Many large businesses and key organizations would not be able to be located here without access to a fully certified and registered airport.

• Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry
• Ornge – Air Ambulance (Medevac)
• Ontario Provincial Police
• More than 100 businesses in Renfrew County and the Pontiac
