August 1, 2017 Newsletter NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2017 “A national organization dedicated to promoting the viability of Regional and Community Airports across Canada” www.rcacc.ca RCAC MEMBER AIRPORT PROFILEJJul: Sunshine Coast Regional Airport (CYHS), BC The District of Sechelt, an incorporated municipal government under the statutes of British Columbia, is the owner and current operator of the previously-known Sechelt-Gibsons Municipal Airport. On September 13, 2014, Sechelt Airport was renamed the Sunshine Coast Regional Airport. The existing facilities were first developed in 1966 by the Elphinstone Aero Club with a gravel runway, which was paved in 1975. The Airport, located 35 miles (48 km via road and ferry) from Vancouver, has a 2,400 foot/731 - meter runway, card lock fuel facilities, 15 licensed areas containing fifteen privately owned structures,Jj and is located approximately 5 miles/8 km from the seaside business center of Sechelt. A number of commercial and recreational groups are located at the airport. Lots for both commercial and recreational purposes are available for lease by contacting the District of Sechelt. Runway 11/29 is paved with dimensions of 2400’ X 75’, lighted with radio communications of 123.5 Mhz within 5 nm and 2500 feet ASL. There currently is a tiedown fee of $5/night. Aviation gasoline (100LL) is available 24 hours a day (604-989-0805). A Flying Club house including kitchen, lounging area, washrooms and telephone for local calls is available. A computer terminal with Nav Canada Weather Web Site access is offered. Also, the RAA Suncoast Chapter 580 newly renovated clubhouse is just a short walk (taxi) to the west, tie downs behind the clubhouse by donations washroom, shower, coffee etc. 24/7. Camping under the wing. Bicyles are available please make prior arrangements by calling 604 886 7645. The Sunshine Coast Regional Airport is an opportunity for business development on the Sunshine Coast. The airport is looking to expand for commercial operations. Plans are in place to create an airpark and an industrial park. This will provide services that are lacking in the community such as medevac, scheduled passenger flights, freight cargo and courier services. Plans are in place to create an airpark and an industrial park: • Investment, partnership and revenue generation potential on BC’s beautiful Sunshine Coast, • Runway extension to 4000 feet with improvements to accommodate commercial air carriers, • Development of 150 acres of adjacent industrial land, to attract aviation related businesses, • Proven demand for scheduled air service. An estimated 62,500 passengers/year are awaiting scheduled air service. Lucrative opportunities exist for freight/cargo services to meet local businesses/industry demands, • Support exists throughout the area’s local government authorities for an improved airport to provide scheduled air service & all-weather landing capacity for emergency transportation such as air ambulance or disaster assistance aircraft, • Initial marketing efforts show significant interest in a revitalized airport by the aviation industry, • An airport master plan (including engineering costing), business case and marketing plan have been completed, • Sechelt is a growing community of 10,000 residents, on BC’s beautiful Sunshine Coast, • Most of the residents and seasonal visitors currently travel to and from the Coast using the BC Ferries service, • Total cost for revitalized runway and supporting infrastructure: $10 million.

  • Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook I
    Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook Final Report strategic transportation & tourism solutions Prepared by InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. June 17, 2008 June 17, 2008 Confidential Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook i Executive Summary InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. was retained by the Vancouver Island Economic Developers Association (VIEDA) to develop a Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook. Most airports in Canada and all but one of the airports in the study area are managed by independent authorities or by municipal councils of the communities they serve. These airports are free to participate in any market sector in which they see opportunity: as defined and sanctioned by their Board’s mission, vision and strategic plan for their community’s airport. Key factors that govern and shape decisions around market participation are: ■ Market opportunities in terms of underserved regions, low levels of service and the airport’s competitive positioning in that sector based on market analysis ■ The operational capability of the airport to participate in target markets ■ A business case that supports the investment to enter target markets The InterVISTAS’ approach and methodology for this study was shaped by these considerations. The report assesses levels of service by defined regions and market sectors, identifies current levels of service, assesses airports’ capabilities in the region and recommends development subject to detailed business case analysis. Section 2 of the report presents an overview of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the seven major Regional Districts contained in the study area. The data shows significant forecast population growth for the Central Island Regional Districts of Nanaimo, Comox/Strathacona and the Cowichan Valley as well as the Sunshine Coast Regional District (Gibsons/Sechelt).
