Exploits Valley (Botwood) Airport (TC LID: CCP2) is located 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) west southwest of Botwood, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The airport has no facilities (ATC/tower is at Gander) and is lighted.[2]
Prior to this airport, Botwood's only other airport was a seaplane base built within what was RCAF Station Botwood in 1935. Expanded in 1940 during World War II and ceased operations in 1946.[3] The former seaplane base is now home to Botwood Flying Boat Museum.
