Pitt Meadows Airport (IATA:
YPK, ICAO:
CYPK) is a
Canadian
general aviation airport located in the
southwest of corner of
Pitt Meadows,
British Columbia. In 2009, it was the
16th busiest airport in Canada with 125,409
aircraft movements, an increase of 4.4% from 2008
when it had 120,098 movements.[3]
By 1972-1973, Pitt Meadows was the busiest airport in Canada with over 250,000 aircraft movements annually. But with the opening of Boundary Bay Airport in Delta, British Columbia in 1983, air traffic at Pitt Meadows Airport declined steadily.
In January 1998, the districts of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows jointly took custody from the federal government under the auspices of the Pitt Meadows Airport Society.[1]
The control tower at Pitt Meadows Airport operates from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. 365 days per year.
