Location

Delta, Canada

Boundary Bay Airport (IATA: YDT, ICAO: CZBB) is a general aviation airport located in Delta, British Columbia, Canada, situated just south of Vancouver near the U.S. border. It serves primarily private, recreational, and flight-training operations rather than scheduled commercial airline service. The airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in Canada by aircraft movements, hosting numerous flight schools, charter operators, and private aircraft.
