The airport is named after former MP Norman McLeod Rogers (Kingston City 1935–1940), Minister of Labour and then National Defence in Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King's cabinet. Rogers died in a plane crash on June 10, 1940 while flying from Ottawa to Toronto for a speaking engagement. HistoryBefore 1940, Kingston was served only by the Kingston Airfield, a grass strip just north of the city's downtown, which closed in 1942. In 1940, during the Second World War, an airfield was built to the west of Kingston to serve as a training station for the Royal Air Force's No. 31 Service Flying Training School (SFTS). The school provided advanced flight training in Battle and Harvard aircraft. In 1942 the school became part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). The BCATP's No. 14 Service Flying Training School moved to Kingston in 1944 and merged with the RAF school. No. 14 SFTS used Harvards, Yales and Ansons. A decommissioned yellow Harvard aircraft now stands on a pedestal near the airport entrance to commemorate the airport's wartime role. The airport was transferred to city control in 1972. The airport's runway outline displays the classic BCATP triangle pattern. The airport was built with six {{convert|2,500|ft|abbr=on}} runways; however, this was reduced to three, as they were all parallel runways. One can still see where some parts of the parallel runways were from the air. Later, runway 01/19 was extended northwards to a length of {{convert|5000|ft|abbr=on}} to handle larger aircraft, and it is planned to be extended to {{convert|6000|ft|abbr=on}} (the prevailing wind is from the south off Lake Ontario). Runway 07/25 was extended northeastwards to a length of nearly {{convert|4000|ft|abbr=on}}, with no plans to extend it, due to the requirements for certified airports on runways over a certain length. The remaining runway, 12/30, was decommissioned in 2003 and converted to a taxiway. Airlines and DestinationsPassenger{{Airport-dest-list| Air Canada Express | Toronto–Pearson }} Cargo{{Airport-dest-list| SkyLink Express | Hamilton }} FrequenciesKingston Airport services three frequencies: ATIS (135.550 MHz) and radio (122.500 MHz). There is also guidance for private aircraft needing fuel or parking on Kingston Flying Club Advisory (122.800 MHz) OperationsKingston is a mandatory frequency airport with an operating flight service station. The airport also supports a large amount of general aviation traffic, including flight training and general recreational flying. As one of the only public airports to offer an ILS approach along the corridor between Montréal–Trudeau and Toronto–Pearson (along with Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier), the Kingston airport is an important alternate during poor weather conditions. There are two Flight Training Units located on the field. Kingston Flying Club, a flight school and charter operation is located in hanger 5 and Fly Kingston/Fly Canadian is located in hanger 4. The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency. CBSA officers at this airport can handle aircraft with no more than 30 passengers.[1] See also
