Chilliwack Airport (IATA: YCW, ICAO: CYCW) is an airport in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. The airport is used by both private pilots and commercial air operators and has services and modification facilities for different types of aircraft.
Chilliwack Flight Fest
Every August, the airport hosts an event known as the Chilliwack Flight Fest, a free air show. Aviation enthusiasts are encouraged to fly their own aircraft.[4]
Airport restaurant
The Airport Coffee Shop at Chilliwack airport operated sporadically until it was purchased in the 1970s by Neil and Kathleen McNeill. The restaurant allowed pilots to radio ahead before landing and order a meal, similar to truck stop cafes of that era.
The McNeills sold the coffee shop in 1975, and soon afterward, both the coffee shop and the old terminal building were torn down and replaced with a fully modern terminal building. After remaining closed for several years, Barbara and Gordon Mitchell purchased the Airport Coffee Shop in 1980. Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) granted an honorary pair of pilot's wings to Barbara in 1994 for her pies and "Food for Flying Folk".[citation needed] Jacqueline Dziuba is currently the owner after the Mitchells retired in 2009.[5]
