About This Airport

Cranbrook's airport is built for skiers and sightseers more than shippers: opened in 1992 as the Canadian Rockies International Airport, it is the East Kootenay's gateway to the mountains. Air Canada, WestJet and Pacific Coastal connect the field – perched around 940 metres above sea level – to Vancouver, Calgary and Kelowna, recently with added Q400 turboprop frequencies for tourism growth. Cargo here travels only as belly load in those cabins; the airport has no dedicated freight terminal. Larger consignments go by road to Calgary (YYC), the nearest international cargo gateway about four hours east. For forwarders, YXC is a passenger and tourism feeder backed by the Kootenay corridor's highway and rail links.
