Airport History

Vancouver’s airport began as a municipal airfield and developed over time into the city’s primary commercial airport. Its early growth was tied to the expansion of scheduled air service in western Canada and the increasing importance of Vancouver as a Pacific-facing city.

Over the decades, the airport expanded its airfield and passenger facilities to keep pace with rising demand. Major infrastructure development included runway improvements, terminal enlargement, and the creation of dedicated domestic and international processing areas to support changing airline and border requirements.

The airport’s modern role was shaped by the growth of long-haul international service, particularly transpacific flying, along with continued expansion of domestic and transborder traffic. Its development into a major hub reflected both its geographic position and the growth of Vancouver as a regional economic center.

Today, the airport operates as a large-scale commercial gateway with a mixed domestic and international network, supporting connecting traffic and local demand across western Canada and beyond.
