About High Prairie Airport
High Prairie Airport is a public airport serving the town of High Prairie and Big Lakes County in northern Alberta. Located about 3.2 kilometres south of town on Highway 749, it primarily supports general aviation, including light aircraft, helicopters and small jets, as well as charter and medevac flights rather than scheduled airline services.
The airport features a single all-weather asphalt runway measuring 4,332 feet long and 75 feet wide. A recently renovated terminal building provides a pilot's lounge, and the airfield includes a self-serve fueling station supplying Jet A and 100LL fuel.
High Prairie sits at the junction of Highway 2 and Highway 749, roughly 89 kilometres northeast of Valleyview and 118 kilometres west of Slave Lake. Because the airport is only a short drive from the town centre, passengers generally continue their journey by private vehicle, taxi or pre-arranged transfer.
As a small community airport, High Prairie Airport offers straightforward access for pilots, charter passengers and visitors travelling to this part of northern Alberta, with road connections available to nearby communities and the wider region.
