Alpha Aviation Inc. is working with the aviation industry to make Boundary Bay Airport (ZBB) the preferred location for both visiting and locally based corporate aircraft as well as Canada’s premier aviation training airport.
History
The Royal Canadian Air Force first identified Boundary Bay as a potential airport when looking for locations to train pilots for the Second World War. Their flight training school, Royal Canadian Air Force Station Boundary Bay, took up residence when the base opened in April of 1941. When the war ended, so did the need for the airport, and the RCAF de-commissioned the base in 1946.
The site was later re-established to operate radio equipment for communication and gathering signals intelligence – but closed again in 1971. For many years the site was used for various social/sports activities for the Delta community.
The airport was eventually restored and reopened in 1983 as Boundary Bay Airport (CZBB). The airport soon once again became a busy flight training hub.
Alpha Aviation acquired the Boundary Bay Airport and assumed management in December 2004, under lease held by the Corporation of Delta. Since then, more than $35 million has been invested to upgrade airport facilities to world-class standards: with a new runway suitable for larger aircraft, redevelopment of airport property. At the same time, the airport’s history has been preserved, with the Heritage Hangar still being used for aircraft storage and special events.
