Airport Facts
Castlegar Airport (IATA: YCG, ICAO: CYCG) is a small regional airport located in Castlegar, British Columbia. It is owned and operated by the City of Castlegar. Runway 15/33 is a 1,615 metre (5,300 foot) long paved runway, and is currently the only runway at the airport. YCG has a 15,317 square foot passenger terminal. Owing to the mountainous terrain impinging on both runway approaches, there is no possibility of a straight-in approach. The airport is therefore certified for day operations only, and the glideslope on approach is set to a steep 5% rather than the standard 2.5%. The instrument approaches to Castlegar are considered among the most challenging of any in use at a commercial airport in North America. This leads to frequent flight cancellations when meteorological conditions are unsuitable, and frequent travelers to this airport have given it the sobriquet "Cancelgar".
