Gateway to the Okanagan wine region, served by Pacific Coastal Airlines (multiple daily YVR flights, expanded toward 3x/day in summer 2025) and WestJet/WestJet Encore (year-round Calgary, seasonal Edmonton); Air Canada Express (operated by Jazz) suspended service in Jan 2024 citing a regional pilot shortage. Sits on Penticton Indian Band (Syilx Okanagan Nation) traditional territory - the land was expropriated from the Band in 1939 under the War Measures Act, and a planned 1999 ownership transfer to the City of Penticton was halted after Band protest, leaving Transport Canada as one of the few small airports it still owns and operates directly. No official passenger total has been published more recently than the 80,000 (2011) figure; 2024-25 route/frequency expansions suggest materially higher current traffic.
