CFB Greenwood (YZX/CYZX) is a Canadian Forces base and airfield in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley, home to 14 Wing Greenwood.

The airfield primarily supports military operations, with limited civilian and general aviation use.
💡 Local Tip
Because it is a working military airfield, do not expect commercial-terminal amenities; carry valid ID, confirm PPR or handling in advance, and allow extra time for security checks at the gate.
🚖 Getting There
The most practical way to reach CFB Greenwood is by car via Highway 101, roughly 1.5 hours from Halifax and near the Greenwood/Kingston area. Local taxis and pre-arranged shuttles serve the Annapolis Valley, but scheduled public transit to the airfield is very limited. If you are flying civilian or visiting, confirm gate access and parking before arrival.
