Welcome
We're Open for business; our airport upgrade Project Means power no matter what!
The March 12th wind storm left much of Campbell River without power and throughout it all, the Campbell River airport was fully functional due to our newly upgraded generator. For 20 hours without hydro power, the generator provided seamless power and the airport was able to remain open with flights landing in the worst of the weather. So, it's business as usual; power or no power at the Campbell River Airport.
