Construction at YLW

YLW is expanding the airport to better meet the needs of our growing region. Our multi-year expansion plans include our largest terminal expansion to date, fully serviced lots for light industrial and commercial business, new parking options, safety and sustainability upgrades, and much more.

Between 2024 and 2033, YLW will invest over $422 million in upgrades to airport infrastructure. This is funded through airport revenues and Airport Improvement Fees and is not funded by tax dollars.

Construction Updates

Car Rental Lot Relocation 

As we prepare for construction of the new hotel and parkade, we are reconfiguring our parking lots. On May 7, the car rental lot will be moving to a new location along Airport Way. If you require any assistance, please call 250-765-5612. 

Air Terminal Building (ATB) Expansion

Passengers will see changes to parking in long-term lot A, restricted access into the terminal building from the south end of the building (departures), and demolition work in the security screening area. Throughout this three-year construction project, there will be additional temporary impacts to existing amenities in the departures lounge. Guests to YLW should expect minor changes to how they move through the terminal building and may experience some construction noise. Passengers are asked to follow new wayfinding signage.
