Airport Business Area is an industrial park located in the North Industrial SDA Suburban Development Area of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Industrial parks are usually located close to transport facilities, especially where more than one transport modalities coincide. The Idylwyld Drive North, Sk Hwy 11 Louis Riel Trail, and Sk Hwy 12 concurrency are all accessed directly from the Airport Business Area. The Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport is north of the Airport Business Area. Circle Drive marks the southern boundary, with access to SK Hwy 14 and Sk Hwy 16, the Yellowhead Trans Canada.

Geography

The land was annexed from the rural municipality of Corman Park between 1965-1969. In 2005 land was annexed for Akzo (Marquis Industrial).cite web

The Idylwyld Drive North, Sk Hwy 11 Louis Riel Trail to Prince Albert via Warman, and Sk Hwy 12 to Blaine Lake via Martensville concurrency mark the eastern boundary. Circle Drive marks the southern boundary, with access to SK Hwy 1`4 and Sk Hwy 16, the Yellowhead Trans Canada. It is a main thoroughfare through the city connecting Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. It also connects west Saskatoon with the bedroom communities of Warman and Martensville.

Larkhaven Park is a park within the region which owes its name to a former naming of an industrial park previously located in this area. Larkhaven Industrial area is located in the area of the Saskatoon Inn.

Future Plans

The airport business area is a part of the local area plans of the City of Saskatoon infrastructure development. Some of the upcoming plans are to structure Airport Drive as a “Gateway to Saskatoon” and phase out residential communities for example at McNab Park and re-vamp the area to light industrial and business park uses. Rename the area to Airport Business Area from Airport Industrial Area, and incorporate Hamption Industrial area within Airport Business Area. Develop the area west of Airport Drive and North west of Circle Drive. Reserve the Larkhaven Park formation as a park space.
