The airport also offers fuel services and extensive Hangar space, and hosts the Canadian Museum Of Flight . GENERAL INFORMATION The airport has a paved 2,100-foot Runway and a turf 2,370-foot runway. These relatively short runways make it a good airport for Flight Training purposes because a pilot who trains on short runways is likely to be a more capable pilot. There is also a public road near each end of the paved runway (01/19) resulting in relatively short "Takeoff Distance Available" (TODA). Due to the proximity of residential areas, runway 19 has a departure noise-abatement procedure that requires a 30-degree turn and runway 25 has a departure noise-abatement procedure that requires a 50-degree turn.

Langley radio frequencies are 119.00 for the Control Tower , 124.50 for Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS), and 121.90 for ground service.
