History: The Town of Tillsonburg owns The Tillsonburg Municipal Airport. The Royal Canadian Air Force originally built the airport as an emergency grass airfield to support flying training during the Second World War. Three grass runways, each 2,600 ft. in length, were defined in the typical military triangular configuration of the time. The Town of Tillsonburg leased the airport from the Federal Government in the late 1950's. As part of the conditions of lease prior to ownership, the Town contributed funding towards airport improvements. In 1971, the Town reconstructed and paved the primary runway (07-25) and constructed an exit taxiway and an apron on the south side of the runway. Also added in the 1970's were the terminal building, aircraft hangars and fuel facilities. Two additional hangars were added in 1981 and one in 1982. The Town took over ownership and administration of the airport in 1981.
