Discover the newly revitalized heart of aviation in southern Alberta—Cardston County Airport (CEA6).
Following recent renovations, the facility now features a sleek, modern hangar space alongside a welcoming pilots’ lounge—ideal whether you're stopping by for a quick visit or preparing for departure. Situated approximately 7 km southeast of the Town of Cardston, the airport sits at an elevation of 3,887 feet (1,185 m) and features a 3,500 × 75‑foot asphalt runway.
Cardston Airport operates as a public, registered aerodrome, maintained by Cardston County, accessible year‑round under visual flight rules. The local CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) is 123.2 MHz. Though the airport does not offer fuel or customs services, it remains open 24 hours and serves as a reliable hub for general aviation.
Nestled in a region rich in heritage, the nearby Town of Cardston was founded in 1887 by pioneers led by Charles Ora Card, a Mormon leader instrumental in establishing early irrigation and settlement in southern Alberta. The airport thus sits amid a landscape deeply tied to Western settlement, agriculture, and community development.
