Villeneuve Airport (CZVL) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Villeneuve, Edmonton.
Villeneuve is the general aviation, recreational flying and training airport for the Edmonton region, and the largest and busiest of its kind in the Edmonton metro area. Edmonton Airports operates it alongside Edmonton International, using it deliberately as a satellite so that small aircraft are not competing for space at the main field.
It sits in Sturgeon County, 9 km north-west of St. Albert, on 574 hectares with two runways and 29 hangars. Twenty-three businesses work from it - aircraft flight training, fixed-wing maintenance, helicopter maintenance and aviation operations among them - and it recorded over 70,000 aircraft movements in 2018.
Meet & Greet
Your chauffeur meets you inside the FBO or private terminal lounge your aircraft is handled at.
60 minutes of waiting
Complimentary on every airport pickup, measured from when your aircraft lands.
Timed to the aircraft
Booked against your operator and tail number rather than a published schedule.
Door-to-door
Direct to your destination, with no stops you did not ask for.
How pickup works at Villeneuve
Your chauffeur meets you at the operator or hangar you are arriving at, timed to the aircraft. Tell us the operator, the registration and the expected time when you book, and dispatch confirms where the car will wait.
With 29 hangars and 23 businesses on the site, the operator's name is the detail that matters. An arrival time on its own is not enough to place a car at a field this size.
Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from the aircraft's arrival are included, and meet and greet applies at Villeneuve. It takes the private-aviation form rather than the terminal one: the chauffeur walks into the FBO or private terminal lounge you land at and meets you inside. Tell us the operator and that is exactly where they will be.
Trips inside Alberta are arranged by quote.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.

Questions about Villeneuve
Why would I fly into Villeneuve rather than Edmonton International?
Because you are on a light aircraft. The airport exists to take general aviation, recreational and training traffic off the main field, which is better for both. Airline flights all go to Edmonton International.
What do you need to arrange a pickup?
The operator or hangar, the aircraft registration and the expected arrival time. There is no arrivals feed at a general aviation field, so that is what dispatch works from.
Is it far from St. Albert?
The airport is 9 km north-west of St. Albert and about 25 km from downtown Edmonton, straight-line from its official coordinates. Either trip is arranged by quote, at a fixed Canadian-dollar fare.
Is meet and greet offered?
Yes. There is no commercial arrivals hall at Villeneuve, so the chauffeur comes into the FBO or private terminal lounge your aircraft is handled at and meets you there. Give us the operator and dispatch confirms the room.
