Gateway to the remote Chilcotin region of west-central BC, serving the Ulkatcho First Nation community of Anahim Lake; Pacific Coastal Airlines flies scheduled Beechcraft 1900D service to Vancouver several days a week (often routed via Bella Coola), with medevac and wildfire-support flights forming a notable share of the roughly 1,000-1,200 annual aircraft movements. No true ICAO code has been assigned — CAJ4 is the Transport Canada Location Identifier (TC LID) used in place of one, as with several other small BC aerodromes.
