September 2017 NEWSLETTER “A national organization dedicated to promoting the viability of Regional and Community Airports across Canada” www.rcacc.ca RCAC MEMBER AIRPORT PROFILE: Kamloops Airport (CYKA), BC JJul MISSION: At Kamloops Airport Ltd., our mission is to serve the Kamloops community and trading area of the BC interior by providing airport facilities that are safe, friendly, clean, efficient, profitable and reflect a distinct sense of place as part of a major airport network. VISION: Kamloops Airport (KAL) is recognized by all stakeholders as one of the most important economic engines in the region – facilitating efficient, cost-effective travel and trade opportunities for local businesses and community members. Jj Kamloops Airport Authority Society is composed of City of Kamloops council members, City of Kamloops staff and members drawn from the public at large. In 1997 Vantage Airport Group (then Vancouver Airport Services) signed a 45-year lease with the Kamloops Airport Authority Society to manage and operate the Kamloops airport. The Kamloops Airport is an integral part of the business and travel community within the Kamloops Region and serves a catchment area of approximately 138,000 residents. We are committed to working with our community in taking a proactive role in continually improving local service. The airport currently facilitates regular air service to eight destinations in British Columbia and Alberta, including Vancouver, Kelowna, Prince George and Calgary. In 2014, we surpassed 300,000 travelers. In addition to serving the traveling public, the airport handles air cargo traffic and is home to a number of aviation-related industrial operations including the Provincial Wildfire Command Headquarters for BC Forest Service. The Kamloops Airport infrastructure includes two asphalt runways – one 1,800 metres and the other 622 metres in length. The airport provides navigational aids such as a localizer with DME (distance measuring equipment) and NDB (non-directional beacon). The main runway is equipped with an ODALS (omni directional approach lighting system). The airport terminal is spacious at 598 square metres and currently has eight check-in counters. Airport also houses industrial operations including small airplane repair, engine rebuilding and aircraft salvage facilities, avionics specialists, charter operations, a flying school, an air tanker base and a forest fire control centre. The Nav Canada Air Operations Building houses the Flight Information Center and the Flight Service Station Tower. Airport Managing Director - Fred Legace, Kamloops Airport Ltd.
