Vancouver International Airport

Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) is a large airport in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code CYVR or IATA code YVR. It sits in North America.

Vancouver International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Vancouver International Airport sits near sea level at 14 ft.

Local operations run on America/Vancouver. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 29 departing and 41 arriving private-jet legs at CYVR across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 aircraft from 15 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.

As one of the larger fields in Canada, CYVR tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Vancouver International Airport is an international airport located on Sea Island in Richmond, British Columbia, serving the city of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland region. It is located 12 km (7.5 mi) from Downtown Vancouver. The airport is managed by Vancouver Airport Authority, a nonprofit organization, and covers a total expanse of about 1,340 hectares of airport property.
