The staff I interacted with were friendly. Overall a small and easy airport to navigate/move through. I hear that there will be many upgrades coming over the next decade and expect that it will grow bigger as Nanaimo’s population is expected to grow quite significantly. For now, it seems as though the size is appropriate but I could see it being too small if it stays like this for long.

Owner reply: Thank for your 5 star review Daniel. YCD does have an extensive expansion plan that will keep up with the needs of the growth in our area. Looking forward to an exiting future ahead at YCD.

Great team in the YCD NavCan FSS. They really go the extra mile trying to coordinate all the often frustrating YVR flow complications and occasional uncooperative pilots wanting to jump the queue. Thanks for all your patience hard work! MAL7052
