Frequently asked questions
What runway length is available at CYPK?
Pitt Meadows Regional Airport offers three paved runways for arriving and departing traffic. The primary runway, 08R/26L, measures 5,003 feet by 100 feet, making it the longest surface on the field. A second parallel runway, 08L/26R, spans 2,485 feet by 75 feet. A third runway, 18/36, runs 2,484 feet by 75 feet, providing a crosswind option.

Is customs available on site at CYPK?
CYPK does not have customs processing on site. The nearest customs-designated airport is CAJ8, located 0.34 nautical miles away. Given that short distance, operators planning international arrivals should confirm clearance procedures and any applicable permit requirements directly with that facility before routing through Pitt Meadows Regional Airport. This proximity makes coordination straightforward but does not substitute for on-field customs service at CYPK itself.

Monthly volume is uneven across the year, with April standing out at 190 operations, well above the annual monthly average. February is the quietest month at 64 operations, and December follows closely at 90. This traffic reflects flights crossing into or out of the United States as seen by FAA data, not the airport's total operational count.
