Vancouver International Airport
Vancouver International Airport is the primary airport for Vancouver and the second-busiest in Canada. YVR handles around 25 million passengers per year and sits about eight miles south of downtown Vancouver on Sea Island, just south of the mouth of the Fraser River. The airport is a major hub for Air Canada and WestJet, plus a gateway for Asian carriers including Cathay Pacific, Air China, China Eastern, Korean Air, and Japan Airlines. Vancouver's position on the Pacific coast and its role as a major Asian-Canadian demographic center makes YVR an important transpacific gateway. The airport has won numerous passenger satisfaction awards and is widely regarded as one of the best major airports in North America. YVR has a distinctive First Nations art collection throughout the terminals, reflecting the airport's location on traditional Musqueam Indian Band territory. The airport is connected to central Vancouver by the Canada Line of SkyTrain, Vancouver's rapid transit system.
