Major-General Richard Rohmer Meaford International Airport or Meaford International Airport (IATA: YOS, ICAO: CYOS) is located 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) east of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada in the Municipality of Meaford. The airport is named for World War II flying ace Major-General Richard Rohmer.
The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) on a call-out basis from the Waterloo International Airport on weekdays and the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport on weekends. CBSA officers at this airport can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.[1]
In November 2009, the Toronto City Centre Airport renamed itself after Billy Bishop, creating confusion with this airport. In September 2024, formerly Owen Sound Billy Bishop Regional Airport changed its name to Major-General Richard Rohmer Meaford International Airport.
Transportation
