Airport contact
Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway and the commercial/agricultural hub of BC's Peace River region. Unlike most of British Columbia (Pacific Time) or the DST-observing Mountain Time of the East Kootenays, Dawson Creek keeps Mountain Standard Time year-round with no daylight-saving shift, aligning it with neighbouring Alberta, a practice in place since 1972. WestJet — operated as WestJet Link by Pacific Coastal Airlines using 34-seat Saab 340s — provides the airport's only scheduled service, a limited-frequency link to Calgary; Central Mountain Air, Northern Thunderbird Air, Carson Air and Sunwest Aviation serve the field on a charter/air-ambulance basis. Not a CBSA port of entry, so no customs or immigration services are offered. No official annual passenger total is publicly published for this small, tower-less regional airport.
