    Vancouver Airport Authority is a community-based, not-for-profit organization that manages Vancouver International Airport (YVR). We have no shareholders and reinvest every penny we earn back into airport operations and development. We are committed to creating an airport that British Columbia can be proud of: a premier global gateway, local economic generator and community contributor.

More people than ever chose to fly through YVR in 2014 and many did this with the help of our incredible Green Coats. We were proud to honour these individuals on the 25th anniversary of YVR’s award- winning volunteer program. Our Green Coats speak the language of welcome and help—and over 30 other languages. This is one of the reasons YVR once again achieved a high customer satisfaction rating in 2014 and received the Skytrax World Airport Award for best airport in North America—for the sixth year in a row. We continued to build on our strong community relationships in 2014, with generous donations and expanded programs.

  • Visa Account Updater Merchant Participants
    Visa Account Updater Merchant List The Visa Account Updater (VAU) Merchant List includes all merchants enrolled as of June 30, 2020. It is consolidated in an attempt to relay the most relevant and meaningful merchant name as merchants enroll at differing levels: by subsidiary, franchise, or parent organization. Visa recommends that issuers and merchants not use this list in marketing efforts for VAU because: 1. We do not have 100% penetration on all sides. 2. We cannot guarantee that the information exchange between the financial institution and merchant will occur in time for the cardholder’s next billing. 3. Some merchants on this list may have only certain divisions or geographic regions participating. Therefore, we do not want to create an expectation that the service will address all account update issues for all merchants listed.
