Squamish Airport is located 5.4NM north of Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.

Squamish Airport is a general aviation airport with a 2400feet runway located about 8km (05miles) from downtown Squamish. It is used for charter services, private aircraft, flying clubs, and other commercial activities. Given its close proximity to Greater Vancouver, there is no regularly scheduled air service at the Squamish Airport. The airport was also used by the Canadian Forces as part of their preparation for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
