News from the Kitimat Flying Club

January 5 2026 the Kitimat council approved moving forward with a grant application for a comprehensive master plan  for the development of the Kitimat airpark (CBW2).No approvals were received at that time for the grant applications regarding maintenance equipment purchase or an above ground aviation fuel dispensing system. The aviation fueling station was placed into the districts capital expenditures plan to have any engineering questions answered before next B.C.AAP grant intake. Kitimat council stated that budget constraints made it tough for them to approve this spending and support the grant applications.

Successful grant applications are helping us enhance services and facilities. These developments directly support emergency services, commercial aviation, and general aviation, reinforcing the airpark's vital role in the region for everyone from local businesses to potential members / volunteers.
