Abbotsford International Airport is a prominent name among airports in Canada, especially for the Lower Mainland. It is a preferred spot for landing planes when the visibility issues create hazards for landing planes in the Vancouver International Airport. The airport provides daily domestic scheduled flights with seasonal international flights scheduled to the USA. Another prominent highlight of the airport is that it serves as the host for one of the largest airshows in the country, the Abbotsford International Airshow in the second week of August every year. The airport has prominent infrastructure tailored for on-site aircraft rescue operations and firefighting support. The terminal building has standard screening procedures for customs and passengers. The most striking highlight about Abbotsford is the role it plays in sustaining a general aviation community. The terminal features a lost and found section along with facility for mail-it-home inquiries. In addition, the visitor information center at the airport also adds up to the functionality of the terminal. Passengers can also find a ‘Gifts-to-Go’ store in the airport terminal building for picking up some lovely gifts for their dear ones before departure. At the same time, a duty free shop in the terminal also makes it easier for passengers to purchase some goodies at lower costs.
