Kamloops Airport is an economic engine, contributing to the growth of our city and region. We're pleased to present highlights from our 2013 Economic Impact Study. The history of Kamloops Airport stretches back to June 1931 when the City of Kamloops leased 46 acres (19 hectares) from B.C. Fruitlands at the present site. Work on the runway got under way in 1936 and the gravel runway was completed in 1938. In that year, the City bought the land plus another 30 acres (12 hectares). In 1939 the Department of Transport granted money to the City for airport development and the runway paved in that year. On April 13, 1939 Cyril Jackson, piloting an Aeronca, made the first official landing. Also in August of that year, the airport was designated as a port of entry under the Customs Act. 
Kamloops Airport is praised for its up-to-date facilities, large windows offering scenic views, friendly and attentive staff, and ease of navigation. Some customers mention the need for food and charging options, while others appreciate the small, relaxed ambiance. A few unfortunate experiences with rude staff have been reported, but overall, the airport is generally regarded as a positive experience.
