Pitt Meadows Airport (IATA: YPK, ICAO: CYPK) is a Canadian general aviation airport located in the southwest of corner of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia. In 2010, it was the 18th busiest airport in Canada with 111,724 aircraft movements, down from 2009 when it had 125,409 movements.[3]
By 1972-1973, Pitt Meadows was the busiest airport in Canada with over 250,000 aircraft movements annually. But with the opening of Boundary Bay Airport in Delta, British Columbia in 1983, air traffic at Pitt Meadows Airport declined steadily.
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.[1]
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 ft (1,750 m) long and 150 ft (46 m) wide, allowing for regional turboprop and jet service,[4] as well as additional taxiways and an end-of-runway turnaround on 08R/26L.[5]
