YVG serves the Town of Vermilion and surrounding rural area, notably the County of Vermilion River, which encircles the Town of Vermilion.

YVG is owned, operated, and funded solely by the Town of Vermilion.

The County of Vermilion, whose residents reap numerous benefits from the use of the airport, does not contribute financially.

Vermilion’s airport has been in continuous service since the first grass airstrip was built in 1931.
