Pitt Meadows Regional Airport is a Canadian general aviation airport located in the southwest corner of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. In 2022, the airport had 127,284 aircraft movements, making it the 3rd busiest airport in British Columbia and the 9th busiest airport in Canada.[3]
The first airport manager was Gordon McNeill 1966-1972. By 1972-1973, Pitt Meadows was the busiest airport in Canada with over 250,000 aircraft movements annually, but with the opening of Boundary Bay Airport in Delta, British Columbia in 1983, air traffic at Pitt Meadows Airport declined steadily.
In January 1998, the districts of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows jointly took custody of the airport from the federal government under the auspices of the Pitt Meadows Airport Society.[1]
Nine flight training schools are located at the airport. The airport features three asphalt runways, three helipads, IFR approaches, and a separate float plane dock along the Fraser River. The Nav Canada air traffic control tower operates from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. 365 days per year.
In 2019, the airport terminal was moved to make room for a new 40000ft2 two-level terminal building. The new terminal opened in January 2022.[4] [5] [6]
Unlike Vancouver or Abbotsford International Airport, only on-demand flights are offered by private charter and air taxis from Pitt Meadows Regional Airport throughout Western Canada, with the majority of destinations in British Columbia.
