Charter Flights To Vancouver (YVR) British Columbia
When you plan to travel by private air charter out of the main Vancouver airport, you will have the advantage of avoiding the main public passenger terminal. You will instead head for the south end of the airport which is designed for small regional airlines and charter flights including wheel planes, float planes and helicopters.
If you are arriving in Vancouver by scheduled airline, you will arrive at the main passenger terminal. After retrieving your baggage you can take the courtesy shuttle to the south terminal where you will connect with your charter flight. You will find the courtesy shuttle pick-up locations just outside of Departures Level 3 International Terminal and outside Departures Level 3 Domestic Terminal.
Jet charters as well as turbine and piston powered aircraft are available to and from the South Terminal of Vancouver International Airport. Companies such as Chartright and London Air Services are two leading jet charter airlines based in Vancouver and provide service throughout Canada, the USA, Bahamas, Caribbean and beyond.
Many of the area turboprop and piston-powered charter airlines operate from nearby regional airports such as Boundary Bay, Pitt Meadows, Langley and Abbotsford. When you request a turboprop or piston aircraft charter in the Vancouver area, you may receive competitive quotes from Fast Air, Liard Air, Nautilus Air, Principal Air, or Streak Air.
These airlines can pick you up from the Vancouver Airport South Terminal; however, there will be an extra charge for the flight to position the aircraft from their base to the South Terminal. Your most cost-efficient option will often be taking ground transportation to their location.
If you are flying float plane charter to Vancouver, you may arrive at the Vancouver International Water Airport which is located on Inglis Drive, just a short distance from the South Terminal and is part of the south arm of the Fraser River. All float plane charter flights operate from this location other than Harbour Air, which has its main passenger terminal nearby at the Flying Beaver Bar and Grill.
Float plane charters also arrive and depart from Downtown Vancouver Harbour, Fort Langley and Pitt Meadows, providing direct links to fishing lodges, coastal resorts and remote communities.

Use our no cost / no obligation charter quote request service to inquire about helicopter sightseeing trips, helicopter flights to Whistler, heli-ski adventures or charter flights to remote regions of the province.

What is your departure and destination airport? Depending on the size of your group, the aircraft best suited for your charter may not be able to operate in and out of the airports you have chosen. Or, in the case of an international flight, there may be no customs service at the airport you choose, which will then require a landing at a designated port of entry airport for customs clearance – which will increase your costs. So have alternate airports in mind. Some airports may offer customs / immigration services with restrictions on the number of passengers they will process. Picking the right airport is important on such flights.
To keep it cost effective, it is important that your entire group departs from the same airport. If a stop is required en route to pick up additional passengers, this will add considerably to the costs.
If you can be prepared with the above information when requesting a quote for a group charter flight, it will ensure you receive accurate pricing quickly.
