Campbell River (West Coast) Heliport

The 'closure' pertains to the retirement of the unofficial identifier CA-1007, not a physical shutdown of the facility. This is a common occurrence when private aerodromes, not intended for public use, have their data updated or removed from public-facing databases. The operator, West Coast Helicopters, continues to operate from this site without interruption.

The site is the active and fully operational Campbell River base for West Coast Helicopters, located at 2150 North Island Highway. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms the presence of a large hangar with 'West Coast Helicopters' painted on the roof, multiple marked helipads, and associated office and maintenance facilities. The facility is private and used exclusively for the company's commercial operations.

This site has long served as the primary Campbell River base for West Coast Helicopters, a key aviation provider in the region. Historically and currently, it supports a wide range of critical industries on Vancouver Island and the BC mainland coast. Operations handled from this base include forestry support (heli-logging, crew transport), aquaculture support (servicing remote fish farms), mining and exploration, hydroelectric utility maintenance (power line patrol and construction), tourism (sightseeing, heli-fishing, heli-hiking), and general charter services. It functions as a vital logistics, maintenance, and flight operations hub for the company's fleet of AStar and Bell helicopters.

Not applicable, as the heliport is not closed. It is an active, private operational base with no indication of ceasing operations.
