Air:
The Regina International Airport (YQR) is a recently renovated and expanded state-of-the-art facility that serves as an impressive gateway to or from the Regina region. Located approx. 7 km southwest of the city centre the airport is very accessible to all parts of the Regina region and surrounding communities.

Looking forward…The Regina Airport (YQR) is well positioned to develop new cargo transportation links to North American and, in the longer term, to overseas markets due to its central location and the current and potential characteristics of its airfield and airside amenities.
