  "connection_tips": "Douglas Lake Airport (DGF), officially known as Douglas Lake Ranch Airport (CAL3), is a specialized private-use aviation facility located in the scenic Nicola Valley of British Columbia, Canada. For travelers and pilots, the most critical connection tip is understanding that DGF is not a public hub; it is situated on the Douglas Lake Ranch\u2014the largest working cattle ranch in Canada\u2014and is strictly for the use of ranch operations, corporate guests, and visitors to the ranch\u2019s world-class fly-fishing and luxury resort facilities. Access to the airfield requires mandatory Prior Permission (PPR) from the Douglas Lake Cattle Company management well in advance of any flight.\n\nThe facility features a well-maintained 4,600-foot asphalt runway (08/26), which is capable of handling a variety of private single-engine planes and corporate turboprops. It is essential to note that DGF does not host scheduled commercial airline services; database entries mentioning carriers like Central Mountain Air are typically inaccurate, as those airlines serve regional commercial hubs such as Kamloops Airport (YKA) or Kelowna International Airport (YLW), both of which are over an hour's drive away. There are no public passenger terminals, retail shops, or dining options at the airstrip; authorized guests are met directly on the tarmac by ranch personnel for transfer to their accommodation.\n\nPilots must be self-sufficient for all flight planning and ground requirements, as there are no on-site FBO services for the general public. Always confirm your site access and ground logistics with the ranch office before departure from your point of origin. Given its role as a private logistical link, DGF remains a vital but restricted node in British Columbia\u2019s rural infrastructure.",

  "terminal_info": "Douglas Lake Airport (DGF), also known by its Canadian identifier CAL3, is a private-use aviation facility located on the historic Douglas Lake Ranch in British Columbia, Canada. As the primary airstrip for the country's largest working cattle ranch, it serves a critical role in the management and operations of the vast property. The airport is situated in the picturesque Nicola Valley, providing a vital link for ranch personnel, specialized equipment, and guests visiting the ranch's world-class fly-fishing and luxury resort facilities.\n\nThe airfield features a well-maintained 4,600-foot asphalt runway (08/26) that is capable of accommodating a variety of private and corporate aircraft. However, because the airport is privately owned and operated by the Douglas Lake Cattle Company, use of the facility is strictly limited and requires prior permission (PPR) from the ranch management. There is no traditional public terminal building; instead, the airport's infrastructure is integrated into the ranch's operational facilities, focusing on utility and safety rather than commercial passenger amenities.\n\nTravelers and pilots should be aware that DGF does not host any scheduled commercial airline services. Mentions of carriers like Central Mountain Air in some databases are typically erroneous, as those airlines serve nearby regional hubs such as Kamloops (YKA) or Kelowna (YLW). Visitors to the ranch who arrive by air are met directly at the airstrip by ranch staff for transfer to their destinations on the property. Due to the private nature of the facility, there are no public dining, retail, or rental car services available on-site, and pilots must be self-sufficient for all flight planning and ground requirements.",
