About Vernon Regional Airport
Vernon Regional Airport is the main aviation gateway for Vernon and the surrounding North Okanagan region of British Columbia. It primarily supports general aviation, including private, business, recreational and training flights, as well as occasional charter services.
The airport is located about 3 km southwest of downtown Vernon, near the shores of Okanagan Lake and a short drive from Kalamalka Lake and Silver Star Mountain Resort. It operates a single asphalt runway and a compact public terminal building, with hangars, fuel storage and aircraft services on site.
The facility is a non-towered airport operating in uncontrolled airspace and is not an airport of entry, so scheduled international service is not available. Passengers can reach Vernon by car, taxi, private transfer or BC Transit bus, while scheduled commercial flights generally use Kelowna International Airport to the south.
For pilots and visitors alike, the airport offers practical amenities including a passenger lounge, pilot planning and briefing facilities, washrooms and an observation deck, making it a convenient base for exploring the Okanagan.
