Brampton Flying Club
Brampton Flying Club
The Brampton Flying Club has been in continuous operation since 1946, making it one of the longest-running flying clubs in Canada. Originally based near McLaughlin Road and Queen Street in the city of Brampton, the club relocated to its current site in 1970, where it has grown into the thriving aviation community it is today.
BFC holds the distinction of being the only flying club in Canada that owns and operates its own certified airport. As a not-for-profit corporation, all revenue is reinvested into operations, aircraft, and facilities to benefit our members.
