Its riverside setting and proximity to the Comox Valley make it a distinctive local aviation facility.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the airpark is within walking distance of downtown Courtenay shops and cafes, but on-site services are minimal, so arrive self-sufficient and check local wind and tide conditions because the nearby estuary can create tricky breezes.
