Description

In May 1961, the Department of Transport announced its decision to build a new airport at Pitt Meadows that would serve as a satellite to Vancouver International Airport. It would also have a seaplane base on the adjacent Fraser River. The site was 754 acres [283 hectares] in area and, initially, the airport was to have two graded landing strips, 2,500 by 50 feet, one gravel and the other grass. The airport opened on July 20, 1963.
