鈥淭he priority is the safety of our community and to allow access to the airspace required by aerial firefighters,鈥� said Cassie Brannagan, communications advisor. 鈥淲e appreciate travellers鈥� patience with this evolving situation. Travellers are asked to check with their airline for the most up-to-date flight information before coming to the airport.鈥�
Brannagan said airport management will continue to work with our industry stakeholders, BC Wildfire Service, NavCanada and Transport Canada, to understand how these wildfires will impact operations.
