It is the largest airport in the Peace River Country of northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia, having served 446,000 passengers in 2014 and 436,000 in 2015,[1] ranking among the busiest regional airports in Canada.
The airport has seen passenger traffic growth due to the economic and population growth of the city.
