Major-General Richard Rohmer Meaford International Airport (IATA: YOS, ICAO: CYOS) is located 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) east of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada in the Municipality of Meaford. The airport is named for Major-General Richard Rohmer, a flying ace from World War II.

The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) on a call-out basis from the Region of Waterloo International Airport on weekdays and the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport on weekends. CBSA officers at this airport can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.

The Meaford airport was previously named Owen Sound Billy Bishop Regional Airport, after the larger nearby town of Owen Sound and the Canadian World War I flying ace Billy Bishop. In November 2009, the Toronto City Centre Airport added Billy Bishop at the start of its name, creating confusion with the Meaford airport. In September 2024, the Meaford airport changed its name to Major-General Richard Rohmer Meaford International Airport. Rohmer, who turned 100 on 24 January 2024, attended the renaming.

Transportation

The airport is located along Ontario Highway 26. Parking is located next to the main airport building.
