## Description

Penticton (IATA YYF, ICAO CYYF) is the gateway to the South Okanagan, linking British Columbia's wine and fruit-growing region to Vancouver (YVR) and Calgary (YYC) via Pacific Coastal Airlines and WestJet Encore, with seasonal YVR service resuming on 25 May 2026. Operated by Transport Canada, it is purely a regional passenger airport, with air cargo limited to belly freight and no standalone freighter activity. Its runway is constrained by the surrounding mountains and Okanagan Lake, which rules out larger cargo aircraft. Export and express shipments from the area move through nearby Kelowna (YLW, about 60 km north) or the Vancouver (YVR) freight gateway, roughly 300 km west.
