Funding has now been approved to begin construction on the $90-million expansion of Kelowna International Airport. A loan authorization bylaw was passed at the meeting of the city council on March 13 and will be the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken at YLW.
“This investment in YLW will have significant benefits for all of Kelowna,” said Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas. “It is an investment in our regional economy, helping to support increased air service for both passengers and goods.”
The airport has been deemed over capacity since 2019. Phase One of the project is set to add almost 7,000 square meters of relief, including an expanded departures lounge, expanded security screening area, and new direct access to the south gates. Phase One is set to begin this summer, and will go until 2026.
