Overview of the BC Air Access Program program:

The BC Air Access Program provides cost-sharing opportunities for infrastructure, environmental and in select cases, airport master plans, and all of which must be at eligible, public-use facilities. Through this cost-sharing program, facility operators can invest in safety, social improvements (such as improved medevac) and climate/environmental projects that help strengthen local, regional and provincial economies. BCAAP encourages funding partnerships with Indigenous, local, regional and federal governments, as well as agencies and private-sector organizations.

Benefits of the BC Air Access Program program:
  • The program caps the value of grants to any one applicant (regardless of the number of projects) to $2 million in any given year. However, applicants may submit for multiple projects as long as a separate application is prepared for each.
