  Chilliwack Municipal Airport

While it is true that Chilliwack figures prominently in B.C. aviation history, the Chilliwack Municipal Airport is also a present day example of what many communities wish for.

 Airport

Our airport encompasses 130 acres and boasts a terminal building designed to accommodate aircraft with up to 19 passengers.  Airside facilities include 3,990 ft. (1,219 meters) paved and lit runway and parallel taxiway. Our 24 hour fueling station offers competitively priced 100LL Avgas for small aircraft and Jet A for turbine and jet engine aircraft and helicopters.

 

The Chilliwack Municipal Airport is home to approximately 75 private and commercial aircraft, which includes both fixed wing and helicopters.  There are over 20 businesses at the airport including: flight training schools, charter companies: both fixed wing and helicopter, aircraft paint and maintenance shops, as well as, other assorted aviation oriented businesses.  We also boast a fine eatery: “The Airport Coffee Shop” and their famous pies.

 

Approximately 70 percent of our estimated sixty thousand annual air traffic movements are itinerant traffic consisting of both pilot training and recreational flights from all around B.C. and south of the border.

 

Chilliwack Airport is well known to B.C. aviators as one of the most attractive airports in the province.  It is a showpiece for our community.
