Castlegar Airport is a small regional Airport located in Castlegar , British Columbia . It is owned and operated by the City of Castlegar. Runway 15/33 is a 1,615 Metre (5,300 Foot ) long paved Runway , and is currently the only runway at the airport. YCG has a 15,317 square foot passenger terminal. Owing to the mountainous terrain impinging on both runway approaches, there is no possibility of a straight-in approach. The airport is therefore certified for day operations only, and the Glideslope on approach is set to a steep 5% rather than the standard 2.5%. The Instrument Approach es to Castlegar are considered among the most challenging of any in use at a commercial airport in North America . It has earned the nickname 'Cancelgar Airport' due to numerous cancellations and delays relating to weather. AIRLINES
