Castlegar Airport Airport codes|YCG|CYCG is a small regional airport located in Castlegar, British Columbia. Owned and operated by the City of Castlegar, YCG has a convert|15317|sqft|m2|0 passenger terminal. Due to the mountainous terrain impinging on both runway approaches, there is no possibility of a straight-in approach. The airport is therefore certified for day operations only, and the glideslope on approach is set to a steep 5% rather than the standard 2.5%. The instrument approaches to Castlegar are considered among the most challenging of any in use at a commercial airport in North America. Castlegar airport is currently (as of 2006) developing departure procedures for nighttime operation.

The airport is classified as an airport of entry by NAV CANADA and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency. The customs at CBSA officers at this airport currently can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.
