Arnprior Airport (TC LID: CNP3) is a registered aerodrome located adjacent to and south of the town of Arnprior, Ontario, Canada directly behind Arnprior Aerospace Inc. (formerly Boeing Canada Technology).

The aerodrome serves chiefly general aviation traffic, including private pilots, MEDEVAC, Ontario Hydro, and the Ontario Provincial Police. The Canadian Forces also use the aerodrome.[2]

History

During World War II, the airport hosted No. 3 Flying Instructor School for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Arnprior/South Renfrew Municipal Airport was the original location of the National Research Council of Canada Flight Research Laboratory until 1954 when it moved to its current location at the Ottawa International Airport in Ottawa.

Currently

The Arnprior Airport is currently home to Chapman Aviation which provides flight instruction, sightseeing and charter services.[3] Chapman Aircraft Service also provides aircraft maintenance services.[4]
