Pitt Meadows Regional Airport (YPK) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Pitt Meadows, Vancouver.
Pitt Meadows is owned and operated by the Pitt Meadows Airport Society, a not-for-profit that puts its earnings back into the airport. It is one of the busiest fields in the province, and the reason is training: eleven flight training units operate from it.
The other half of the picture is rotary. Several helicopter and sightseeing operators are based here, among them Island Coastal Aviation, Pacific Rim Aviation, Sierra Helicopters and Sky Helicopters, and a dedicated helipad serves rotary-wing traffic. If you are being collected from a helicopter rather than an aeroplane, this is the airport in the region where that is routine.

Door-to-door
Direct to your destination, with no stops you did not ask for.
How pickup works at Pitt Meadows
Pickups are arranged against the aircraft and the operator rather than a flight number. Tell us who you are flying with, the registration, and the time you have been given, and dispatch confirms where the car waits.
For a helicopter arrival, say so when you book - the pad is not where the fixed-wing traffic parks, and knowing which you are on saves a conversation on the day.
Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from arrival apply here as at any airport pickup. Meet and greet applies in its private-aviation version: the chauffeur meets you inside the FBO or private terminal lounge that handles your aircraft. For a helicopter arrival it is worth settling that with dispatch in advance, since the pad and the fixed-wing apron are not the same place.
British Columbia trips are arranged by quote, as the online rule requires one end in Ontario.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.

Questions about Pitt Meadows
Do you collect from helicopter flights here?
Yes. Several rotary operators are based at Pitt Meadows and there is a dedicated helipad, so tell us on the booking that it is a helicopter arrival and dispatch will send the car to the right part of the field.
Why is the airport so busy if no airlines fly there?
Training. Eleven flight training units work out of Pitt Meadows, and training generates a great many short movements. It means the field is active, not that there are passengers arriving on schedules we can look up.
What do you need to arrange a pickup?
The operator, the aircraft registration and the expected arrival time. There is no public arrivals board here, so that is what dispatch works from instead of an airline flight number.
Can I book online?
Not for a trip that stays in British Columbia. Online booking needs one end in Ontario, so a Pitt Meadows pickup is arranged by quote - by phone or the quote request - at a price fixed in Canadian dollars before you fly.
