About This Airport
Sawmills, mining exploration and a scattering of Lakes District communities make up the catchment of Burns Lake Airport (IATA: YPZ, ICAO: CYPZ) in central British Columbia. The field has one lit asphalt runway, 11/29, of about 5,000 ft at an elevation of 2,343 ft, and its traffic consists of charters, air-ambulance flights and provincial wildfire operations, which use it as a water-bomber staging base in dry summers; no regular scheduled airline service is currently documented. There is no cargo terminal, no freighter handling and no customs post, so all air freight for the region arrives and leaves by truck. Prince George (YXS), roughly 225 km east, is the nearest regional airport with cargo handling, while British Columbia's international air freight concentrates at Vancouver (YVR), where CBSA customs clearance takes place; Smithers (YYD), about 230 km west, is the nearest alternative with scheduled flights. Highway 16, the Yellowhead, and Canadian National's main line run through the town, and for forest products and mine supplies these surface links are the economically sensible chain in any case. Consignments with an ocean leg typically route via the container port of Prince Rupert, some 500 km to the west.
