The airport is named in memory of Jack Garland, a longtime Member of Parliament for North Bay's Nipissing electoral district. Until 2004 it hosted an annual air show during North Bay's Heritage Festival, with a large military component.

The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). CBSA officers at this airport can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.[1]

The airport is home to the Canadore College's aviation campus which houses their aviation programs. Final assembly of the Canadair CL-415 (Bombardier 415) aircraft was completed at the airport from 1999 until 2015.

The city has owned the airport since 1998 after transfer from Transport Canada and North Bay Jack Garland Airport Corporation has run it since 2003.[6]

Jack Garland terminal interior

The first terminal was constructed in 1938 to house a small waiting area on the ground floor and control tower on the second.[7] Upgrades after World War II led to the second terminal being built in 1963, which now serves as the Administration Building and has offices for airport administration, Nav Canada, Canada Border Services Agency, and others. The current terminal was built in 2001 and has been renovated (completed 2010)[8] to accommodate additional airline offices, a larger post screening waiting area with washrooms.[6] The North Bay Jack Garland Airport terminal is easily accessible, with curbside access and automatic doors throughout, and now has:

  • Two airline departure gates
  • Six airline check-in counters
  • Rental car kiosk – servicing both National Car Rental and Enterprise Rent-A-Car
  • Restaurant and bar
  • Lounges / waiting area
  • Baby / parent room – both before and post screening
  • Disabled access / facilities – both before and post-screening
