Nearby Airports: Vermilion Airport is just 6 minutes away from the campus. Lloydminster Municipal Airport (YLL) is another regional airport located 40 minutes away from the campus. If you are looking for a nearby international airport, you would have to drive for more than 2 hours to reach one so we recommend you take a flight to reach an international airport for your travels around the world.
