Masset Airport is located 1.5NM northeast of Masset, British Columbia, Canada. In 2008, the airport began services using a Boeing 737 jet.[1]
The airport was constructed in July 1943 as RCAF Station Masset. It was built by the RCAF's No. 9 Construction Maintenance Unit. The original landing strip was a perforated steel plate runway, which was built in a record breaking 14 days. At the end of World War II, RCAF Station Masset was surplus to requirements, so in 1945 it was mothballed.[2]
CFS Masset, a radio relay station, was built adjacent to RCAF Station Masset in 1942.
