History
The Division of Air Services was established in 1941, when the former Forestry Branch was divided into three new divisions. The Division of Air Services assumed the functions of the Provincial Air Service, which had formerly been part of the branch.
In 1957, the Division of Air Services was absorbed into the existing Division of Forest Protection, and briefly became known as the Air Services Branch. In 1960, the Division of Forest Protection became the Forest Protection Branch and the Air Services Branch became the Air Services Section.
