Details

Regina International Airport is an international airport located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, located 2NM south-west and 7km west south-west of the city centre. It is run by the Regina Airport Authority. It was, in 2010, the second busiest airport in Saskatchewan (Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker being the busiest).The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). CBSA officers at this airport can handle aircraft with no more than 120 passengers. However, they can handle up to 250 if the aircraft is unloaded in stages.HistoryThe first site in Regina used for flying was the infield at Regina Exhibition Park's horse race track, where visiting barnstormer "Lucky Bob" St. Pierre (a Nebraskan whose real name was "Shaeffer" or "Shaffer") flew a Curtiss Model D biplane in August, 1911. A few other barnstormers, notably aviator Katherine Stinson of the famous aviation family, appeared in Regina and other prairie cities in the years thereafter, but there was virtually no other aviation activity in Western Canada during the First World War.
