Flights to Delta
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Delta is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Vancouver International Airport (YVR), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 11,500-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Victoria International Airport (YYJ, 56 km), Orcas Island Airport (ESD, 44 km), Bellingham International Airport (BLI, 50 km), Abbotsford International Airport (YXX, 51 km), Nanaimo Airport (YCD, 60 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vancouver International Airport | YVR | 15 km (9 mi) | 11,500 ft | 14 ft |
| Victoria International Airport | YYJ | 56 km (35 mi) | 7,000 ft | 63 ft |
| Orcas Island Airport (regional) | ESD | 44 km (27 mi) | 2,901 ft | 31 ft |
| Bellingham International Airport (regional) | BLI | 50 km (31 mi) | 6,700 ft | 170 ft |
| Abbotsford International Airport (regional) | YXX | 51 km (32 mi) | 9,600 ft | 195 ft |
| Nanaimo Airport (regional) | YCD | 60 km (37 mi) | 6,602 ft | 92 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,500 ft, YVR can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 14 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
