Halifax Robert L. Stanfield International Airport[5], or Halifax/Stanfield International Airport (IATA: YHZ, ICAO: CYHZ) is an airport in Enfield, Nova Scotia, Canada that serves the Halifax Regional Municipality and mainland Nova Scotia as well as adjacent areas in the neighbouring Maritime provinces.
The airport, owned by Transport Canada since it was constructed and operated, since 2000, by the Halifax International Airport Authority (HIAA) forms part of the National Airports System. The airport hosts the headquarters of Air Canada Jazz and CanJet.
It is the 7th busiest airport in Canada by passenger traffic. In 2008, the airport handled a total of 3,578,931 passengers[4] and 89,250 aircraft movements in 2007.[3]
An airfield in West End, Halifax on the Halifax Peninsula known as Chebucto Field operated as the city's main airport until 1942, when it closed. RCAF Station Shearwater functioned as Halifax's primary airport until June 1960, when the current airport was opened. The Kelly Lake site was selected in order to reduce the number of days per year fog would affect airport operation. There is a continuing myth that the tree cutting that was required to construct the airport altered the fog patterns, however a weather analysis of the 1960-2008 period would show that this is, indeed, an "urban" myth. The origin of the myth may come from commuters, who may experience very localized fog near the airport during their morning drive along Highway 102.
