Vancouver International Airport (IATA: YVR, ICAO: CYVR) is located on Sea Island in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, about 12 km (7.5 mi) from Downtown Vancouver.

The airport has won several notable international best airport awards, and it won the Skytrax Best North American Airport award in 2007. YVR also retains the distinction of Best Canadian Airport in the regional results. It is a hub for Air Canada and Air Transat as well as a focus city for WestJet.
Vancouver International Airport is one of eight Canadian Airports that have U.S. border preclearance facilities.
Vancouver International Airport is owned by Transport Canada and is managed by Vancouver International Airport Authority, which also manages other airports around the world through its Vancouver Airport Services subsidiary.
Public transit connections
Currently, the domestic and international terminals are served by the new SkyTrain, the Canada Line and the N10 night bus which runs after hours when the Canada Line is out of service. The South Terminal is served by the C92 and there is the C90 which travels to Airport North to the United Parcel Service Terminal. Both buses connect with the Canada Line.
Vancouver International Airport contributed $300 million to the Canada Line, the new SkyTrain line running from the airport to Downtown Vancouver (with another branch serving central Richmond) which opened on August 17, 2009, in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. The total cost of the project was $2 billion. A link building ($117 million, completion 2007) is the docking area for users of the metro line and links the international terminal with the domestic terminal. Vancouver's airport is the only one in Canada with a rapid transit connection.
