List of airports in the Okanagan

The Okanagan is a region located in the British Columbia Interior of Canada that contains five airports, seven heliports, and two water aerodromes. Of the five cities based in the Okanagan, three of them contain aviation services.[1][2] Vernon contains two: the Vernon Regional Airport and Vernon/Wildlife Water Aerodrome,[2][3] while Kelowna provides the same number: the Kelowna International Airport and Kelowna (General Hospital) Heliport.[1][4] The Penticton Regional Airport and the Penticton Regional Hospital Heliport are situated in Penticton, making a total of two aviation services offered in the city.[2][3] At one time there was a water aerodrome, Penticton Water Aerodrome, in the city. Despite this, the Enderby and Armstrong cities contain no aviation services.

There are also communities that are not cities in the Okanagan, many of which also maintain aviation services. Winfield, a town located within the Lake Country district, provides the Winfield (Wood Lake) Water Aerodrome.[3] The West Kelowna district provides two heliports: the Kelowna (Alpine) Heliport and Kelowna (Wildcat Helicopters) Heliport,[2] while the unincorporated community of Naramata offers the Naramata Heliport.[2] Meanwhile, the towns of Oliver and Osoyoos are home to the Oliver Municipal Airport and Osoyoos Airport.[2] The districts of Peachland and Summerland, along with the town of Oyama in Lake Country, do not provide aviation services.

Two of the airports in the Okanagan provide public commercial flights to other destinations: the Kelowna International Airport which is part of the National Airports System and Penticton Regional Airport.[1][2][5][6] While the Kelowna International Airport serves as the only international airport in the Okanagan area and handles 62 commercial flights a day,[7] the Penticton Regional Airport provides three commercial flights daily, with one fewer on Sunday, to one location: the Vancouver International Airport.[5] A number of other airports in the Okanagan are generally used for personal events, or skydiving, although some have no facilities.[8][9][10]
