The airport is also home to the Quinte Health Corporations Helipad and there is a Nav Canada weather camera situated on the airport which gives viewers a first hand look at the weather conditions on the airport. To access the weather cam, click on the following link: Bancroft Airport Weather Cam.
The airport is owned, maintained and managed by the Bancroft Flying Club which is a volunteer organization. As a result, the airport does not have permanent staff to provide services such as refueling of aircraft. Members have access to fuel and carry out their own refueling on a self-serve basis. Transient aircraft can call ahead to arrange for fuel. Government agencies such as DND, MNR, Hydro One, Ornge Air Ambulance and the OPP have made prior arrangements with the airport and have access to Jet fuel on a self serve basis. The Bancroft airport has plenty of room available for new hangar development and has seen the construction of three (3) new hangars in the past few years. |
Jet Fuel
Improvements have been completed to enhance the delivery of Jet fuel for our customers with the installation of a fuel dispensing cabinet that provides a higher flow rate of fuel and includes an electric rewind hose.
