Victoria International Airport

YYJ: regional context and official resources

Victoria International uses YYJ on passenger itineraries and CYYJ in aviation records. Do not confuse that pair with Vancouver's YVR/CYVR: they are separate airports in British Columbia. Checking the code is more reliable than searching only for a provincial or metropolitan name when interpreting a flight's route fields.

Start with the airport marker and the catalog coordinates to understand the local setting, then open the wider Canada flight map for regional observations. A flight near Victoria may be passing through, and an absent route field cannot be filled in from proximity alone. Nearby featured airports below are selected by straight-line distance, not by ferry, road or connection time.

Victoria Airport Authority provides official flight-status, terminal-map and ground-transport resources. Confirm passenger access and connection arrangements there and with your airline; this geographic profile cannot establish them. Transport Canada's ownership directory also lists Victoria and links to its airport authority, providing reference context rather than current operating information.

The airport codes, coordinates, elevation and timezone below come from the local airport reference catalog. They are not a current operating bulletin. This editorial context and its source references were reviewed on 2026-10-12; that date is not the timestamp of any aircraft position.

Using the Victoria International Airport airport profile

Victoria International Airport serves Victoria, CA, at reference coordinates 48.6469, -123.4260. Its canonical aviation identifier on PocketWorld is ICAO code CYYJ| IATA: YYJ. The listed elevation and timezone come from the airport reference catalog and help place the airfield on the globe; they are not a substitute for an aeronautical information publication or a current airport notice.

Geographically, Victoria International Airport is recorded in Victoria, British Columbia, CA, north of the equator and west of Greenwich. At 63 feet in the reference catalog, it is grouped here as a low-elevation airport; its timezone identifier is America/Vancouver. These stable attributes help distinguish the airport from places with similar names or shared metropolitan codes.

The flight section reports only aircraft found in PocketWorld's latest available public ADS-B snapshot with enough origin or destination metadata to associate them with YYJ. Receiver coverage, provider availability, transponder settings and metadata quality vary by region and aircraft. A flight can therefore be operating normally without appearing here, and a callsign or airport pair can be missing, delayed or stale.

Position data is not an airline schedule

An observed aircraft position can help explain where a flight was recently seen, together with altitude, speed and route fields when those values are present. It does not by itself confirm a gate, terminal, boarding time, delay, diversion or cancellation. Arrivals and departures shown here are matches from public telemetry, not a complete airport operations board.
