About Cowley Airport
Cowley Airport is a small public aerodrome in southern Alberta, located about 9 km (5.5 mi) northwest of the village of Cowley and close to the Highway 3 corridor between the prairies and the Crowsnest Pass. It is primarily a gliding and general aviation airfield and is home to the Lethbridge Soaring Club.
The airfield has two grass runways, 11/29 and 03/21, which support soaring, flight training, and private flying rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. Because of this specialist role, arriving and departing pilots are the main users, with operations centered on the club facilities and hangars.
Cowley Airport lies close to the Highway 3 corridor and offers convenient road access to nearby communities. Cowley village is a short drive to the southeast, Pincher Creek is roughly 24 km away by road, the Crowsnest Pass is about 30 minutes to the west, and Lethbridge is approximately one hour to the east.
For pilots and visitors, the airport serves as a gateway to the foothills and Rocky Mountain landscapes of southwestern Alberta. Onward travel is generally by private vehicle or pre-arranged transfer, with fuel, food, and accommodation available in nearby Cowley, Pincher Creek, and other surrounding towns.
