Red Deer Regional Airport

Red Deer Regional Airport, opened in the 1960s, is a compact single‑terminal airport serving central Alberta and the city of Red Deer, offering a practical alternative to Calgary and Edmonton airports. Primarily focused on regional passenger services, charter flights, flight training and light cargo, the airport plays an important role for local business travel without the crowds of larger hubs. Accessibility is straightforward via nearby Highway 2 with rental cars, taxis and local shuttle options connecting to downtown Red Deer and onward to Calgary and Edmonton; limited public transit means most travelers drive or use a shuttle. Generally considered affordable for travelers, it hosts regional carriers and charter operators rather than major airline hubs.
