Frequently asked questions
Does CZBB have customs clearance available on site?

How much business aviation traffic does CZBB see, and how is it measured?
Boundary Bay Airport (CZBB) recorded 4,392 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 5,844 total operations, according to FAA TFMSC data.

Traffic is concentrated unevenly across the year, with September showing the highest monthly volume at 635 operations. April also stands out with 514 operations. Dispatchers should treat these numbers as a cross-border snapshot rather than a total activity picture.

April follows with 514 operations, well above the monthly average across the rest of the year. By contrast, December sees the lowest volume at 170 operations. This pattern reflects FAA-tracked cross-border traffic rather than the airport's total activity. Operators planning trips through CZBB in September or April should expect a higher concentration of business aviation movements than in other months.
