Pitt Meadows Airport (IATA: YPK, ICAO: CYPK) is a Canadian general aviation airport located in the southwest corner of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia.  In 2008, it was the 17th busiest airport in Canada with 120,098 aircraft movements, an increase of 11.2% from 2007 when it had 108,040 movements. 

By 1972-1973, Pitt Meadows was the busiest airport in Canada with over 250,000 aircraft movements annually.

In January 1998, the districts of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows jointly took custody from the federal government under the auspices of the Pitt Meadows Airport Society.

The control tower at Pitt Meadows Airport operates from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. 365 days per year.

In addition to increased apron space, hangars and other buildings, by 2010 runway 08R/26L is expected to be expanded to 5,740 feet (1,750 m) long and 150 feet (46 m) wide, allowing for regional turboprop and jet service, as well as additional taxiways and an end-of-runway turnaround on 08R/26L.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS:

All pilot training in Canada ultimately achieves the same license and related privileges for the student regardless of the school they join or the country the student came from.  Mega size schools often cost more and students generally get lesser individual attention.  Students or parents who worked hard to save enough for career education shall focus on getting best value for their money for quality training.  One must  take into consideration that many schools charge extra for fuel surcharge, headphone rentals, sign out fee for each flight, insurance etc. to the quoted price.  We encourage students to check that out before making a decision as this can be a costly mistake.  Also keep in mind, that schools in many countries are offering licenses at compromised cost and that too for inferior training which may not be of value when applying for jobs with airlines and sometime schools offering great deals simply disappear with hard earned money of the students or parents. We recommend that you
ask these questions before joining any school, Canada or elsewhere!   We Guarantee in writing all what we advertise.  Hope to see you realize the value we offer as we Guarantee our prices and the Quality of Training to be most competitive!!  All major Airlines regard superior standards of Canadian Training and the value of the Canadian Pilot License.  Most important but often neglected factor while  choosing a school is `SAFETY`.   Our safety record alone makes us a sensible choice for training.  Happy Landings!
