History of Vancouver Airport
The history of Vancouver flight departures goes back to the year 1929. A piece of land was bought by the local government for the construction of an airport. Opening two years later, 1,000 people were transported by air that same year. The airport was used by the government during the Second World War. The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan used the airfield. The current main terminal was completed in 1968. It has been expanded and renovated many times since then. The oldest runway (north) was completed in 1996 as it is today except for a few technological improvements.
