Debert Airport

31 Operational Training Unit in support of RAF Ferry Command.

[2] In 1971, the Debert Airport and its surrounding land was purchased by the Government of Nova Scotia for development as the Debert Air Industrial Park, and in 1972, the Truro Flying Club was formed.

Each summer, the airport is home to the Debert Cadet Flying Training Centre flying activities, during which a group of Royal Canadian Air Cadets train to receive their Glider Pilot's Licence.

In 2020/2021 cadet camps were canceled due to covid 19 across Canada and no lessons were taught here in Debert.

In early 2022 it was announced that Debert would no longer be used as a cadet summer training center.
