Masset Airport (IATA:ZMT,ICAO:CZMT) is located 1.5nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) northeast ofMasset,British Columbia, Canada. In 2008, the airport began services using aBoeing 737 jet.^[2]

The airport was constructed in July 1943 asRCAF Station Masset. It was built by theRoyal Canadian Air Force's No. 9 Construction Maintenance Unit. The original landing strip was aperforated steel plate runway, which was built in a record breaking 14 days. At the end ofWorld War II, RCAF Station Masset was surplus to requirements, so in 1945 it was mothballed.^[3]

CFS Masset, a radio relay station, was built adjacent to RCAF Station Masset in 1942.

• On 11 January 1995, a Canada Jet ChartersLearjet 35 (registration C-GPUN) crashed into the water whilst performing an approach to runway 12.^[4][5] Investigators concluded that the flight likely had its altimeter calibrated to the wrong pressure setting, causing it to descend too low whilst still far from the runway. The aircraft was performing anair ambulance flight fromVancouver to Masset. All five occupants on board the aircraft were killed.
