YVR Operations Update - Summer 2024We have recently received communication from the Vancouver Airport Authority regarding their decision not to proceed with the planned North runway construction, originally scheduled for the summer of 2024.
Your valuable input has allowed us to communicate and highlighted the significant impact the closure would have on our industry and all traffic entering and departing from YVR. We will provide further information on this issue as it becomes available, and rest assured, the CBAA will remain steadfast as your advocate within the industry.
Furthermore, our collaboration with the YVR Airport Member Committee, the Vancouver Airport Authority, and Nav Canada continues as we address the airport reservation office program. We anticipate YVR's commitment to this program and want to ensure equitable access to the airport that aligns with historical practices. Rest assured; we are actively working towards achieving this goal.
Your trust in CBAA allows us to represent your interests effectively, and we will keep you updated as these important matters progress.

We have since held discussions with Transport Canada (TC) and the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) and can report the following.
Here is a short article with application clarifications that show the impact on the CBAA membership is expected to be very low.
