The Airport is strategically located just 2 km from Trans Canada Highway 17, and 5 km from the Town of Petawawa. We are a certified airport located in Petawawa, Ontario, 90 minutes west of Ottawa. This airport is the only certified airport between Carp and North Bay. The Pembroke Airport is not only home to a private flying club but is also used by the Canadian Military who use the airport as a practice area for the SAR Para jumpers.
It is located in a great spot to stop and watch the military SAR (search and rescue) Para jumpers practice jumping from a Canadian Forces Hercules aircraft then floating down to land on the grass strip beside the runway.
