It serves the City of Brandon and the surrounding regions of Western Manitoba and Eastern Saskatchewan, an area with a population of over 180,000 people.[5] The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). CBSA officers at this airport can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.[1] HistoryWorld War IIBrandon Aerodrome was originally built by the Department of National Defense in 1941, for use as a Royal Canadian Air Force flight training school under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Pilots were trained at the airport on Cessna Crane and Avro Anson, among other aircraft, for Second World War flying service. In 1945, the school was closed in conjunction with the end of the Second World War. Portions of the former RCAF Station Brandon are now classified as a National Historic Site of Canada. The Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum is a popular tourist attraction located at the airport that commemorates the BCATP and the former Station.[6] Airline service in the 1980sAccording to the Official Airline Guide (OAG), Perimeter Aviation was serving Brandon in the early 1980s with one flight every weekday to Winnipeg operated with a Beechcraft commuter aircraft.[7] Jet service arrived at the airport during the mid 1980s when Pacific Western Airlines introduced Boeing 737-200 flights operated on a round trip routing of Vancouver - Kelowna - Calgary - Brandon - Thunder Bay - Toronto six days a week in each direction for a total of twelve jet departures a week.[8] Airline service in the 1990sTwo airlines were operating service to Winnipeg during the mid 1990s: Bearskin Airlines flying Beechcraft 99 commuter turboprop aircraft with four flights on weekdays and Perimeter Aviation flying Swearingen Metro commuter propjets with two flights on weekdays.[9] By 1999, Perimeter Aviation was operating one flight on the weekdays to Winnipeg with a Metro propjet while Athabaska Airlines was also operating one flight on the weekdays to Winnipeg with this service being flown with a Beechcraft 1900C commuter propjet.[10] Airline service in the 2010sOn September 3, 2013, WestJet Encore launched daily non-stop service from Brandon to Calgary International Airport flown with Bombardier Q400 regional propjets.[11] From June 29, 2016 to September 5, 2016, WestJet operated a trial run of non-stop service from Brandon to Toronto Pearson International Airport utilizing Boeing 737 aircraft, later stating that the service may return dependent on demand.[12] FacilitiesThe passenger terminal building is a {{convert|5800|m2|abbr=on}} facility that was originally constructed in 1963.[13] On August 19, 2014, a 10.7 millionCAD redevelopment and expansion of the passenger terminal building was announced.[14] Construction began in spring 2015, and the newly expanded and upgraded terminal facility was opened to the public on May 10, 2017.[15][16] Brandon Municipal Airport occupies a land area of about {{convert|736|acre|km2|abbr=on}}. The airport has two runways 08/26 and 14/32, although the infield grass can be used as a "strip" on request for smaller aircraft, such as ultralight aircraft. The area surrounding the airport, a total of {{convert|562|acre|km2|abbr=on}}, is leased out to farming operations for cereal grain and hay production. Permanent tenants at Brandon Sirport include the Brandon Flying Club, the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum, and Maple Leaf Aviation. Fire and other emergency services at the airport are provided by the City of Brandon and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Brandon Municipal Airport is frequently used for air ambulance services, pilot training, air cadet gliding, and general aviation. Its location on the flight path for aircraft flying between major cities in Eastern Canada and major cities in Western Canada makes it a preferred midway point for fuel, technical, and emergency stops.

Airport taxi services are provided by numerous Brandon taxicab companies. ShuttleBrandon Air Shuttle provides shuttle service from Brandon Municipal Airport to Dauphin and other communities in Western Manitoba. Daily shuttle service is available and must be pre-booked.[18] FutureAlthough it is the second largest city in the Province of Manitoba, the City of Brandon's smaller population in comparison to Winnipeg and the relatively close geographical distance between the two cities ({{Convert|200|km|abbr=on}}) has historically meant that the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport is used as the province's primary airport. However, with the strong, stable economy and rapidly increasing population in Western Manitoba coupled with expanding oil production in the area, Brandon Airport is positioning itself to be a leading regional airport as the primary entry point to the City of Brandon, Western Manitoba, and Eastern Saskatchewan regions for both passenger and cargo air traffic.[13] References1. ^1 {{CFS}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/programs/airports-status-menu-441.htm |title=Airport Divestiture Status Report |work=tc.gc.ca |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930005553/http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/programs/airports-status-menu-441.htm |archivedate=2015-09-30 |df= }} 3. ^Synoptic/Metstat Station Information {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130627233755/http://climate.weatheroffice.gc.ca/prods_servs/metstat1_e.html |date=June 27, 2013 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/51-209-x/2011001/t001-eng.htm|title=Aircraft Movement Statistics: NAV CANADA Towers and Flight Service Stations: Annual Report (TP 577): Table 2-2 — Total aircraft movements by class of operation — NAV CANADA flight service stations|work=statcan.gc.ca}} 5. ^http://economicdevelopmentbrandon.com/trading-area 6. ^http://airport.brandon.ca/index.php/explore-brandon/airport-history 7. ^http://www.departedflights.com, April 1, 1981 Official Airline Guide (OAG), Winnipeg flight schedules 8. ^http://www.departedflights.com, April 28, 1985 Pacific Western Airlines system timetable 9. ^Sept. 15, 1994 Official Airline Guide (OAG), Brandon & Winnipeg flight schedules 10. ^http://www.departedflights.com, July 1, 1999 Official Airline Guide (OAG), Winnipeg flight schedules 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2013/05/13/mb-westjet-brand-airport-manitoba.html|title=WestJet to launch service at Brandon airport|date=14 May 2013|work=cbc.ca}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://westjet2.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=1107|title=WestJet adds limited-addition summer routes|date=February 22, 2016|accessdate=February 22, 2016}} 13. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://airport.brandon.ca/future|title=Future|author=Super User|work=brandon.ca}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/brandon-airport-terminal-to-get-major-upgrades-1.2740951|title=Brandon airport terminal to get major upgrades|date=19 August 2014|work=cbc.ca}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/new-terminal-fully-open-at-brandon-airport-1.3408613|title=New terminal fully open at Brandon Airport - CTV News Winnipeg|work=winnipeg.ctvnews.ca}} 16. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.westmanjournal.com/news/local-news/new-terminal-now-fully-operational-1.19959436|title=New terminal now fully operational|work=westmanjournal.com}} 17. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.enterprise.ca/en/car-rental/locations/canada/mb/brandon-municipal-airport-c6ba.html|title=Car Rental Brandon Municipal Airport (YBR) - Enterprise Rent-A-Car |publisher=enterprise.ca|accessdate=February 12, 2019}} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.brandonairshuttle.com/schedules-fares-dauphin.php|title=Brandon Air Shuttle|publisher=brandonairshuttle.com|accessdate=February 12, 2019}}
