The airport was located in the neighborhood of Millidgeville in the city of St. John, New Brunswick. History1930-1939The St. John Municipal Airport was established on this site in 1930. World War IIIn 1939 the RCAF took over operation of the St John Municipal Airport. The air force constructed additional hangars and other buildings at the site. From 1939 until 1940 a flight from No. 2 (Army Cooperation) Squadron was stationed at RCAF Station St. John. They were replaced by No. 118 (Coastal Artillery Co-operation) Squadron who remained at the station until April 1944 when they were transferred to RCAF Station Dartmouth. Post warThe majority of RCAF Station Saint John closed in early 1944. A six-member Detachment remained at the station until the Airport was turned back to the city of St. John in May 1947 and the city operated the municipal airport at the site until March 1951 when the aerodrome was decommissioned and flying operations were relocated to the new Saint John Airport.[1] Aerodrome informationIn approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed at {{coord|45|18|N|66|06|W|region:CA-NB}} with a Var. 22 degrees 30' W and elevation of {{Convert|94|ft|0}}.
