Luggage
Luggage retrieval is the absolutely worst of ANY airport in the world. We have waited over 40 minutes and still no luggage . In any other airport and I have travelled the world luggage is available within 20 minutes . In Winnipeg it was there by the time we arrived at the carousel. What is the problem in Vancouver. You are advertising good new things coming to YVR I suggest better faster baggage handling
Annual BBQ or get together for fly-in ?
Hello Wayne, I recently flew into your airpark and though with the amount of hangsr space that you would hold an annual event. If you have a get together, plese let me know, thanks
Passport control
Coming back from abroad, standing in avery long line with over a hundred people ahead of me. The new system is very insufficient and slow. Multiple airport clerks walking around looking busy doing nothing. It feels like an international airport was not ready to receive multiple flights.

re: re: Why no Uber or Lyft?
Your points are correct only to a degree - you exaggerate on every item presented. As one who uses taxis at YVR regularly, I have only once had a delay in the past year. I do agree that the airport could do with more taxis available especially with late evening arrivals.
Why no Uber or Lyft?
Lineups for taxis- but no taxis.....
Lots full of taxis- but none for patrons......
If you can get a cab, you are often refused a ride because “I don’t go there”.....
Why no Uber or Lyft? It might smarten up the rip off taxi companies.
Can’t you clean?
I’ve been through at least 40 airports, all over the world.
YVR has some of the nicest washrooms, but with the poorest cleaning. I’ve been through here multiple times, and rarely seen anything different. Urinals that haven’t been cleaned under since.... well... who knows when. Paper dispensers empty. Usually more than half. Garbage chutes overflowing. No soap in the fancy automatic dispensers. Unwashed floors.
I just used one that had been cleaned in the last half hour( so the paper says), and EVERY urinal had a dirty floor under it.
Where’s the quality control? Is there a manager actually checking?
Sheesh- can’t this beautiful airport do better?

This air strip still exists and is used by private planes, even though it's not official maintained.

I have not found much information on this airport other than it seems to be an abandoned location sometime in the 1960s. The Smith River airport holds the record for the coldest temperature ever recorded in British Columbia (recorded in 1947).
It's winter, you need to de-ice aircraft!
Man you kids are dropping the ball!
Who is incharge of this debacle called YVR?
3 hours into a 5 hour flight cause you clowns can't have enough de-icing equipment to service your airport!
My 5 hour flight is now going to be at least a 9 if not a 10 hour flight.
Get your act together and stop this amature hour.

Nice repaved runway and new lighting. Fuel, tie downs, plug ins, heated hangar available. Food and accommodation's are about 8 km away.
(no subject)
Restaurant and grocery store within a very short walk from the airport. Paved apron with tie downs. Nice place to stop over.
(no subject)
Very nice pilot lounge. Best fuel prices in the area. Lighted runway with AWOS. Home of the restored Canso. Nice airport to visit but a little too far to walk to town. About 4km.
Closed
I drove past there and it looks completely closed, the hangars are still there but the airstrip is fully covered in snow.
Building of the runway.
I dont have a lot of information however just found out my grandfather ran the heavy duty cat to build the strip at war time. Is there any signs of the airstrip left. I would like to bring my teen to it for family history maybe in 2018.
First cross country flight
Landed on it on my first leg of solo cross country. Quite an experience.
A very nice terminal with a museum.
Friendly flying school
Where i had my first solo.
The home for Canadian Flyers School where I recieved my training. People are amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly and supportive.
5 more years
I am happy to hear that YKZ is staying for another 5 more years. I hope it will stay more. It is a shame to see it gone.
hi
yes
Great airport
Nice folks!
Great airport!
Friendly folks!
No longer free 20 min
Too bad, used it ALOT. But there's the cell lot now so that works just as well
Wonderful Service & Free to land Private Planes
Port Hawkesbury Airport - Landed there a few weeks ago and it was a pleasure! Recently they had new ownership and I have to say they are great! They are offering more then ever; including ice, water/Gatorade and always have coffee brewing. Staff was extremely accommodating and eager to help. They had competitive fuel prices and no landing fee for private aircrafts which is great! Will be back.
Shuswap Regional Airport (YSN/CZAM)
How and why Salmon Arm's airport got two very different codes beats me considering how consistent Canadian codes are.
Chalk it up to being Salmon Arm, I guess.
Latest for Greenbank ... from a flying in visitor
I flew into Greenbank airport on Sunday 24 September 2017. The main runway (Turf) was cut and serviceable. Marked by orange cones ... As far as (06/24) is concerned - It is gone.
There were a few aircraft parked on the field.
There is NO fuel. I attempted to get some - four times. The pump worked but the tanks were dry.
Fortunately I took my 2 gallon Jerry-can from my baggage compartment and walked to the nearby Shell Gas station and bought some MoGas. 3 trips.

Is this airport open ?
Seems the dirt dumping was stopped in April 2017.
Are the planes there in the hangers ?
With so much dirt being pushed around a lot would get into the hangers and on the planes.
What is the status of this airport ?
the breakfast are excellent !
Copa flight 131
Greate place to meet new friends on every 1st saturday of each month from 8:30AM to 11AM for a nice 10$ breakfast. Hosted by airport owner Michel Monette and his wife Nathalie, awesome people.
Whatch for Powered Paramotors flying in the area and landing at this airport. I'm one of them C-IJHT we fallow the same circuit comming from the north or south, albeit VERY short, and come in at 500' ASL (700'AGL)
Come see us all !
my school
Took my PPL here in 2010, love the people.
A hidden gem
What a great little airport, just minutes from Upper Canada village. Flew from CYRO for a nice relaxing afternoon with family. Heard lot of chatter from nearby traffic but no one in the pattern and just one aircraft parked at the airport. Truly a pilot controlled airport.
Too expensive for me
Expensive fuel and many fees. Please avoid unless you own a jet and must go to old Quebec City. If you want to visit around you are better going to Trois-Riviere and rent a car.
Nice tower folks
Rare small controlled airport around. Bilingual services. Nice down town area.
Nice place
Nice people around. Same town feeling. Downtown Joliette is a real small city with all restaurants, hotels, cabs... Nice little terminal with a dynamic flight school. Cheap fuel available when the flight school is open. No restaurant on site, always some retired folks around to talk airplane with and help you. English spoken by most local French-Canadian pilots. Many ex-airline and ex-Military pilots here.
Worn down, no one around, nothing around.
Better go somewhere else like CSU3, CSC3.
Cheap fuel
The cheapest 100LL in the area. Busy on weekends. Watch out for parachute jumpers. Most local pilot speak/understand English. Just be clear and ask questions. No food around. Better go to Trois-Riviere or Bromont for good airport based restaurants.
Good spot
English spoken, good place for 100LL and Jetfuel. Always someone around for fuel when the weather is ok to good. English is understood/spoken by all local pilot. Just be clear and ask questions if not sure. Not a good idea to be Nordo. Say your intention. Runway 20 is a right circuit. Just approach by the city side. Plenty of trikes and flight schools here for touch and goes.
Massage Chairs needed in all departure lounges
There are so many people that could benefit from using that easy boy style pay for use massage chairs not everyone has the time or the money to go to the spa was and people would really be able to benefit from this it's a no cost item the chairs pay for themselves if not make you a profit
Please in sure that these chairs are placed in all departure lounge is not just a long distance halls
Nice stopover
Have a great fly-in breakfast, well priced fuel and small flying club
CGNNA
Hoping to fly in there today.
