 The Township of Langley leased the airport from the federal government in 1945, received its permanent license in 1946 and purchased the airport in 1967 for $24,300 to operate it as a municipal airport.A restrictive covenant in the sales agreement stated that the land could revert back to federal ownership if the Township ceased operating the property as an airport. In 1978, the Township adopted a new policy to operate the airport until 2001. In February 1990, Council extended operation to 2015 and in 1997 extended operation indefinitely.  Langley Regional Airport is built on 120 acres with a 2,100' north-south paved runway and a 2,300' east-west grass strip. Only the paved runway has night-time lighting. Runways are supported by a taxiway system and paved parking area. There are three helicopter landing pads. The two main pads are capable of accomodating the largest helicopter, the Sikorsky S-61. These two pads are connected by a hover taxiway. The most westerly pad has 24 hours emergency lighting for medical evacuation. |
