Provost West Airport

The airport was closed and replaced due to the development of a new, superior facility. The town of Provost constructed the current Provost Airport (IATA: N/A, ICAO: CEH6) east of the town, which featured a 3,000-foot paved runway and more modern amenities. The old Provost West Airport, likely a simple grass or gravel strip, was rendered obsolete and redundant by this new investment in local aviation infrastructure.

The site has been completely decommissioned and fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (52.35556, -110.29888) shows active farmland. While faint outlines of the former runway alignment may be visible to a trained eye under certain conditions, no physical infrastructure such as buildings, hangars, or runway surfaces remain. The land is now indistinguishable from the surrounding cultivated fields.

Provost West was the original aerodrome serving the town of Provost and the surrounding county. It was a small, general aviation airfield primarily used by local private pilots, agricultural spray planes (crop dusters), and the Provost Flying Club. Its operations were typical for a rural Canadian prairie town, supporting essential agricultural activities and recreational flying. The airport served as the community's air link for several decades before being replaced, playing a vital role in the local aviation scene of its time.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Provost West Airport. The site has been privately owned farmland for over four decades. The community's aviation needs are fully and more effectively met by the active and better-equipped Provost Airport (CEH6). Reopening the original site is considered economically unfeasible and logistically unnecessary.
