Celebrating Airport Workers Day at Victoria International Airport

On Airport Workers Day, we recognize and honour the dedication and hard work of the people who make Victoria International Airport (YYJ) a cornerstone of connectivity and economic growth for Vancouver Island.

This year’s celebration holds special significance: YYJ has been awarded the 2024 Airports Council International – Airport Service Quality Award for Best Airport in North America in the under 2 million passenger category. This prestigious recognition is a direct result of the professionalism, passion, and commitment shown by every member of our airport team. From frontline staff to professionals behind the scenes, it is their hard work that keeps our airport running smoothly and our communities connected.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to every customer service representative, security officer, baggage handler, mechanic, janitorial staff member, air traffic controller, flight crew, transportation security officer, and all others who contribute to our success. Your dedication inspires us and makes YYJ a source of community pride.

To our friends and neighbours across Vancouver Island, we invite you to join us in celebrating our airport workers. Their efforts support thousands of jobs and strengthen the economic fabric of our region.

Looking ahead, YYJ is committed to investing in our people and facilities, ensuring we continue to meet the needs of our community and uphold our reputation as one of North America’s leading airports for our size.

Thank you for everything you do—today and every day. Together, one flight at a time, we are building a brighter, more connected future for Vancouver Island, grounded in safety, security, sustainability, and exceptional service.
