Construction Impacts - Airside Pavement Rehabilitation 2024

In 2024 a multiphase airside pavement rehabilitation project will take place at YLW. This work is scheduled to begin on April 22 and includes upgrades to pavement surfaces of taxiways and construction of a new taxiway.

Impacts:

• Aircraft parking on Apron 3 will be limited. We encourage pilots to reach out to Shell Aerocentre (250-765-7776 ) for their aircraft parking needs.
• All aircraft must have prior permission for parking on Apron 3 and must park in designated parking locations only.
• VFR training circuits are not authorized from 08:00-12:00 and 15:00-18:00 daily.
• Potential VFR training circuit delays and/or restrictions throughout the remainder of the day
• Potential taxi delays throughout the day.
