YXX

YXX is the IATA airport code for Abbotsford International Airport, a public regional airport located in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada, about 60 to 70 kilometers east of downtown Vancouver. The airport’s ICAO designation is CYXX. YXX is used in airline timetables, aviation communications, and air traffic control to identify the facility.

The site began as a Royal Canadian Air Force training airfield during World War II and was later converted to civilian use. Over the decades it expanded from a small municipal airfield to a regional airport serving the Fraser Valley, adding terminal facilities, hangars, and increased air service capacity.

YXX serves the Fraser Valley and the wider Vancouver region, handling commercial passenger service, general aviation, and cargo operations. It hosts a range of regional aircraft movements and acts as a base for carriers and charter operators that serve domestic routes and nearby markets. The airport operates a single terminal facility and several support buildings, with services typical of a regional airport, including passenger processing, baggage handling, customs where applicable, and airside operations.

The airport is a key asset for local travel and economic activity, providing a gateway for residents and visitors and supporting local business logistics. It is accessible by road and connected to regional transit networks, reflecting its role as a transportation hub for the area.
