💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors top up fuel and supplies in Hinton before flying or driving west—services near the airport are minimal, and Jasper can be busier and pricier. Also, ask the airport operator about parking and after-hours access if you plan to leave a vehicle.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive southwest of Hinton, but there is no regular bus service, so pre-book a taxi or arrange a rental car. Most travellers connect via Hinton, then take Highway 16 west to Jasper; allow about an hour for the scenic drive.
