Flights to resume at Kelowna International Airport

After a couple of days of reduced, or no flights getting in or out, scheduled flights at Kelowna International Airport are expected to resume at around 3 p.m. today.

“YLW, working with the BC Wildfire Service, NavCanada and Transport Canada, have established interim measures to allow instrument approaches and departures to resume. We expect aircraft operations to restart service later this afternoon, around 3.pm.,” Phillip Elchitz, YLW’s Airport Senior Operations Manager, said. “As with any adverse weather situation, this one continues to evolve. We understand the inconvenience to travelers and appreciate everyone’s patience.”

Travelers are reminded to check in with their airline for the most up to date flight information before coming to the airport.
