Airport contact
Served by Air Canada Express (Vancouver), WestJet Encore (Calgary, Vancouver) and Pacific Coastal Airlines (Kelowna); gateway for the East Kootenay region and Canadian Rockies tourism. Cranbrook sits in BC's East Kootenay region, one of the well-documented exceptions to BC's usual Pacific Time zone — the city and airport observe Mountain Time (MST/MDT, UTC-7/-6) rather than Pacific Time, aligning with neighboring Alberta.
