The Powell River Airport (YPW) is about to undergo a comprehensive runway, pavement, and electrical rehabilitation. The existing runway pavement, nearing 40 years, requires essential rehabilitation and re-profiling. For detailed project information, you can visit the City of Powell River’s website.

The City of Powell River has informed Pacific Coastal Airlines that the Powell River Airport (YPW) will be undergoing a comprehensive runway, pavement, and electrical rehabilitation, which will force a full closure of the runway. As a result, Pacific Coastal Airlines must temporarily suspend all passenger flight and cargo services to/from Powell River from April 8 to June 9, 2024, inclusive.
