Powell River Airport (YPW)

Powell River’s airport is an important transportation link for the community as it is only accessible by air or water.

The airport provides service to private and commercial flights, and is also home to Oceanview Helicopters and the BC Wildfire Service. Pacific Coastal Airlines is currently the only passenger service provider, offering 30-minute flights to and from the Vancouver International Airport South Terminal, allowing residents and visitors alike to stay connected to the world.

In 2024 the YPW runway was rehabilitated and electrical upgrades were made using funding from the Airport Capital Assistance Program (ACAP). To learn more about this project please visit the participatepr page - YPW Runway Rehabilitation Project
