Nanaimo Airport, (IATA: YCD, ICAO: CYCD), is located 7 NM (13 km; 8.1 mi) south southeast of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
The airport is classified as an airport of entry by NAV CANADA and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency. CBSA officers at this airport currently can handle aircraft with no more than 30 passengers.[1]
In 1999, the air terminal was named in honour of World War I ace Raymond Collishaw who was born in Nanaimo. The Nanaimo-Collishaw Air Terminal is the passenger terminal for the airport. It is primarily used by Air Canada-Jazz which provides services to Vancouver.
The airport recently expanded its runway to 6,602 feet and extended the paralell taxiway to the full length of the runway in addition to renovating the passenger terminal.
