Parkland Airport (TC LID: CPL6) is a registered aerodrome located 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) southeast of Spruce Grove in Parkland County, Alberta, Canada. It opened in November 2013. [2][3][4][5]

According to a CTV News report from November 2013 the airport had the Transport Canada location identifier of CPL6.[2] However, the aerodrome and code did not appear in the Canada Flight Supplement until April 3, 2014.[1]

Runway

Although the Parkland Airport website indicates that the runway is 5,217 ft (1,590 m)[6] the Canada Flight Supplement of 26 May 2016 indicates that the runway is still 2,274 ft (693 m). As of 1 June 2016 there is no NOTAM to show that the runway has been extended.[7]

Controversy

In September and October 2013 both Parkland County and neighbouring residents tried to stop the construction of the airport, but a judge ruled construction could continue as airports are under federal jurisdiction.[8] In November 2013 the Enoch Cree Nation made a statement of claim that their rights were being harmed, and they were not consulted.[5][9] On January 15, 2014, members of Enoch Cree Nation sought an injunction against operations at the airport.[10]
