Flight Restrictions Reduced at Kelowna International Airport

KELOWNA — On August 18th flights were mostly cancelled in and out of Kelowna.

As of Thursday, August 24th, the restrictions to airspace surrounding the airport have been reduced to allow emergency crews to operate and general flights to slowly resume.

We are starting to see some arriving and departing flights during the day.

Passengers are asked to check with their airline for updated information about the status of their flight. Additional parking fees will be waived for those who have had to leave their vehicle due to cancelled flights.

“While this will allow more flights to operate, there are still several restrictions to the airspace surrounding YLW that could impact aircrafts’ ability to arrive and depart,” the City of Kelowna said.

There are still many cancellations, so don’t expect things to go back to normal just yet.
