POV of the new airfield lighting system that was turned on this week at #YLW! These new lights are specifically designed to increase safety for arriving aircraft and improve energy efficiency as LED lights! Not to mention the colours are pretty cool!

This is a modernization of the aging infrastructure for the runway, taxiway, approach, signage and all control systems. This upgrade and investment are a direct result in all the exciting growth happening at YLW!

To learn more about the YLW master plan and the development projects click the link in the bio.

🐾 YLW Security Update 🛫

Our newest member of the YLW security team may be small, but don’t let the size fool you. 💙🐶

Max, our tiny four-legged officer was spotted patrolling the terminal in a very official-looking security vest, conducting important inspections of snack crumbs, unattended treats, and anyone willing to provide a backside scratch. 🦴👀

Passengers can rest assured that every corner of the terminal has been thoroughly sniffed and approved for travel. ✅✈️

We’d say he’s working like a dog...but honestly, he’s making it look way too cute.

As the sun rose over the hills of Kelowna this morning, we bid farewell to Canadian icons, the @cfsnowbirds. You have made 🍁 Canada proud 🍁 and thank you for your service, inspiring awe and joy in the skies for 55 years! Safe travels onwards to your next destinations on your final tour, we were delighted for YLW to be a stop along the way. 🇨🇦

Today our flags are lowered at YLW as we recognize, respect and honour the history and significance of the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. 🧡🤍

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey. It is an opportunity to pause, listen and continue learning about the history, culture and connection to this land while remembering the survivors of residential schools, their families and communities.

We acknowledge that YLW is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the syilx/Okanagan people.
