๐ข Terminal Information
Regional airport in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley.
๐ Connection Tips
Penticton Regional Airport serves British Columbia's Okanagan Valley wine region, located 1.8 nautical miles southwest of Penticton and operated by Transport Canada. Four commercial airlines currently serve the facility: WestJet Encore with year-round Calgary service plus seasonal Vancouver flights (May-October, five times weekly), Pacific Coastal Airlines operating daily Vancouver service through YVR South Terminal, Air Canada providing connections, and Cascadia Air offering additional Vancouver routes. Flight times include 50 minutes to Vancouver and 55 minutes to Calgary, with seasonal Edmonton service available. WestJet recently expanded operations adding June-October Calgary flights (five weekly) with early morning and late evening scheduling. Pacific Coastal started Vancouver/Calgary service in September 2007 providing year-round connectivity. The airport serves as the primary gateway to South Okanagan wine country, lakes district, and recreational destinations with affordable $3 daily parking. Valley geography creates challenging wind conditions during summer afternoons when thermal currents and crosswinds may delay departures, particularly affecting smaller aircraft operations. The facility supports significant tourism traffic during peak wine harvest season and summer recreation periods when accommodation and ground transportation fill rapidly. General aviation traffic includes corporate flights serving vineyard operations, seasonal firefighting aircraft, and recreational flying in the scenic mountain valley environment. Weather patterns feature hot, dry summers with occasional thunderstorms and cold winters with potential snow/ice conditions affecting operations. The airport coordinates emergency medical evacuations serving rural communities throughout the South Okanagan region. Ground services include car rentals, dining, and shopping with connections to Penticton's resort areas, Naramata wine region, and outdoor recreation facilities.
