Health & Safety

At Penticton Airport, health and safety has always been our number one priority. We support all measures to protect public health and to make your trip as comfortable as possible.

Our cleaning staff is working extra hard to ensure high-touch areas throughout the terminal are sanitary and safe. We have physical distancing measures in place to protect passengers, crew, visitors and staff.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to make YYF a healthy environment for all.
