Cartierville Airport (formerlyIATA:YCV,ICAO:CYCV) was an airport inSaint-Laurent,Quebec, now a borough ofMontreal. The airport (Bois-Franc Field when it opened in 1911 and duringWorld War I) was decommissioned in 1988 and turned into theBois-Franc neighbourhood. It was located next toRoute 117 (or Boul. Marcel Laurin/ Boul. Laurentien) and the terminal buildings were accessed viaBoul. Henri-Bourassa (formerly Rue Bois Franc), near the presentBois-Franc Train Station on theDeux Montagnes Commuter Rail Line.^[1]

As the 10/28runway's threshold was very close to Bois-Franc Boulevard (nowBoul. Henri-Bourassa West), atraffic light was installed and automobile traffic was stopped byAir Traffic Control whenever a plane was about to take off from runway 28 or land on runway 10.

In 1928Reid Aircraft Company (and shortly byCurtiss Aeroplane & Motor Company as Curtiss-Reid) opened a plant to makeCurtiss-Reid Rambler, then in 1935Noorduyn opened an aircraft plant followed byCanadian Vickers in 1942.At one time,Canadair Plant One used the airfield to fly off completedCL-215,CL-415,Challenger bizjets andCanadair Regional Jets. The airport was closed to private and commercial passenger traffic in the 1980s when it became apparent that traffic from the nearbyDorval Airport was making it hazardous for chartered flights and flight schools to operate on the site. This leftBombardier as the sole user.

Prior to Bombardier's acquisition of Canadair, Canadair had already acquired the title to the airport, and had initiated a subdivision development planning.^[2]

Among the aircraft test-flown there was theCanadair CL-84 Dynavert tilt-wing VTOL airplane.^[3]

Notes

[edit]

Before becoming an airfield, it was the site of theBois-Franc Pologrounds.
Before the First World War, Cartierville Airport was first known asBois-Franc Field.
RAF pilot Captain Brian Peck flew the first airmail flight in Canada fromBois-Franc Field to Toronto'sLeaside Field in 1918, carrying 120 letters.^[4]
In 1955, an effort by the MP for Saint-Laurent was made to rename the airport asSaint-Laurent Airport.^[5]
On July 27, 1960, a Pan Am 707, bound for Dorval Airport in Montreal, Quebec, mistakenly landed at Cartierville.^[6]
The first CL-600Canadair Challenger bizjet took flight on November 8, 1978 from the airport.^[7]
Before being decommissioned, Cartierville was the oldest continuously used flying field in Canada. It was first used in June 1911.^[8]
