The Champlain International Airport (French: Aéroport de Champlain; IATA: NRW; ICAO code: SNRW; and abbreviated CHIAP) is an international airport in Outer Norwich, Laurentian NCR, St. Lawrence. It is the primary international airport serving Norwich, 12 km (7.4 mi) from Downtown Norwich, aside from the Roger Grimsby (also a suburb of the city) located Airport of Laurentia. The airport terminals are located entirely in the suburb of Outer Norwich, while one runway is located at the Norwich borough of Saint-Laurent. Air St. Lawrence, the country's flag carrier, also has its corporate headquarters complex on the Saint-Laurent side of the airport. It also serves the Greater Norwich and its adjacent regions in northern Trois-Rivières province and the whole southern part of the Laurentian NCR. It is also the largest and busiest airport in the country, handling 30.12 million passengers in 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number dwindled to 981,019 in 2020.

Brief History
The airport is named in honor of French explorer Samuel de Champlain. The airport was first built by the Americans as a military air base in 1934 and its name was Ulysses Grant Air Base. It was eventually turned into an airport in 1938, the same year Air St. Lawrence was founded. The former air base thus became the present Champlain International Airport when it opened in 1942.

The airport was expanded and renovated multiple times, in 1964, 1974, 2001, and most recently, 2018.
