History

The Flin Flon Municipal Airport opened on May 26, 1962. Pilot Steve Olench, with the mayor and John Diefenbaker cabinet minister Gordon Churchill as passengers, marked the opening by driving a Cessna aircraft through a ceremonial ribbon. Aviation in Flin Flon goes beyond the airport with float planes landing on, and departing from, Schist Lake near Channing.
The 2025 Canadian wildfires encircled the city of Flin Flon. The Airport was essential for Water Bomber services and evacuations. At the fires peak, all airport staff were evacuated from the city as well.
