Victoria Int’l Airport (ICAO: CYYJ)

The Victoria International Airport (Formerly Patricia Bay Air Base) is sandwiched between Patricia Bay to the West, and Sidney to the East. The Airport features 3 runways, each different lengths and widths. Because of prevailing winds, the most common approaches are Runway 09/27.

The airport was the first on Vancouver Island to offer International Travel from Vancouver Island. Thus, it remains one of the busier airports on the West Coast of Canada.
