Halifax / Stanfield International Airport

Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (CYHZ) is a large airport in Halifax, NS, Canada. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code CYHZ or IATA code YHZ. It sits in North America.

Halifax / Stanfield International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Halifax / Stanfield International Airport sits near sea level at 477 ft.

Local operations run on America/Halifax. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 9 departing and 6 arriving private-jet legs at CYHZ across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

As one of the larger fields in Canada, CYHZ tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
