Flying private from YYJ.
Victoria International (CYYJ) is one of the main private aviation airports serving Victoria.
Victoria is the main airport for Vancouver Island and the provincial capital, and avoids the ferry crossing from Vancouver.
The longest runway is just under 7,000 ft, so larger jets should check performance, and the drive downtown takes about 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.
Flights are operated by CTA-licensed air carriers.
