Have you ever wanted to take to the skies? YBW Springbank Airport is one of the best places to begin a career or hobby in aviation.

YBW Springbank Airport, or, "the Gateway to the Rockies", is not only one of the most beautiful places in the world, but a critical hub for building the future of general aviation - from pilots to aircraft technicians to air traffic controllers. 

With three fixed-wing flight schools as well as two rotary (helicopter) training centres, YBW is where dreams are launched. 

"Calgary is a city of over a million people. There's going to be people who will want to learn to fly, who will want a career in aviation, and the place to do it is at Springbank Airport," says Greg Davis, a YBW-trained WestJet pilot. 

YBW's flight training centres provide people with the opportunity to learn at their own speed in a tight-knit community of aviators and aviation lovers.
