Flights to Surrey
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Surrey is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Vancouver International Airport (YVR), 28 km (17 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, 67 km), Abbotsford International Airport (YXX, 35 km), Bellingham International Airport (BLI, 41 km), Orcas Island Airport (ESD, 45 km), Friday Harbor Airport (FRD, 66 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vancouver International Airport | YVR | 28 km (17 mi) | 11,500 ft | 14 ft |
| Victoria International Airport | YYJ | 67 km (42 mi) | 7,000 ft | 63 ft |
| Abbotsford International Airport (regional) | YXX | 35 km (22 mi) | 9,600 ft | 195 ft |
| Bellingham International Airport (regional) | BLI | 41 km (25 mi) | 6,700 ft | 170 ft |
| Orcas Island Airport (regional) | ESD | 45 km (28 mi) | 2,901 ft | 31 ft |
| Friday Harbor Airport (regional) | FRD | 66 km (41 mi) | 3,402 ft | 113 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.
