## Description

The code ZGF (ICAO CZGF) marks a modest airfield in British Columbia's Boundary Country, serving general aviation, business flights and wildfire-response operations rather than scheduled traffic. Its runway was extended to roughly 1,705 metres in 2006, allowing light jets to operate from an elevation of about 525 metres just north of the United States border. Unusually for a field this size, it is a Canada Border Services Agency port of entry, its clearance capacity raised in 1997 to handle aircraft carrying up to 80 passengers, so arrivals from the US need not divert to Kelowna or Vancouver. There is no airline service, no scheduled air freight, no cargo terminal and no handling agent on site. Commercial shipments therefore travel by road on Highway 3 to Kelowna (YLW), around three hours away, or on to the international cargo facilities at Vancouver (YVR). For consignments originating in the US, Spokane (GEG) is the practical alternative, trucked in through the Danville-Carson border crossing.
