Hinton/Jasper-Hinton Airport, (TC LID: CEC4), is located 9.5 nautical miles (17.6 km) southwest of Hinton, Alberta, Canada. The airport is home to two small air charter operators conducting scenic tours of nearby Jasper National Park, Mt. Robson and the Columbia Icefields as well as providing aerial services for mining, forestry and wildlife research.

Jasper-Hinton was among first airports in Canada to test the ill-fated MLS or Micro-wave Landing Systems. It is now served only by an NDB approach. See Canada Air Pilot for more details.
