About Abbotsford International Airport
Abbotsford International Airport is the main airport serving Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley region of British Columbia, and it functions as a secondary gateway for the eastern Lower Mainland. The site opened in 1940 as a Royal Canadian Air Force training base and was acquired by the City of Abbotsford in 1997, after which scheduled passenger service expanded.
The airport operates a single passenger terminal handling domestic flights and seasonal international services, with carriers including WestJet and Flair as well as charter operators. It also hosts the annual Abbotsford International Airshow and serves as a base for aerial firefighting operations.
Located about 4 km southwest of downtown Abbotsford and roughly 65 km from Vancouver, the airport is close to Highway 1 and is served by BC Transit Route 21, taxis, rideshare services, private transfers, and car rental.
The compact terminal keeps walking distances short, with dining, shopping, Wi-Fi, and parking close to the check-in and arrivals areas, making it a practical choice for travelers heading to the Fraser Valley, Metro Vancouver, and destinations across western Canada.
