Common Complaints

Flight Training Delays due to Busy Airspace: Due to its high traffic volume (ranked among Canada's busiest for aircraft movements), flight students sometimes report burning "hobbs time" (flight time) waiting for departure or transiting to practice areas, which can be 10-20 minutes away.
Occasional Airshow Organization Issues: While generally praised, some past airshow attendees noted poor organization regarding handicap parking and shuttle services.
Limited On-Site Dining Options: One review mentioned disappointment over the closure of an on-site restaurant, though other eateries like Skyhawk Restaurant are noted for delicious food.
Challenging Sunset Landings: Pilots have noted that landing on Runway 25 at sunset can be difficult due to visibility issues, essentially becoming an "IFR" (Instrument Flight Rules) landing condition.

Boundary Bay Airport stands out as a highly functional and well-maintained general aviation facility, particularly valued for its flight training opportunities and engaging airshow events. While the busy nature of the airport can occasionally impact flight training efficiency, its strong operational aspects and welcoming atmosphere generally result in high traveler satisfaction.
