About Victoria International Airport
Overview
Victoria International Airport (CYYJ) serves the Greater Victoria region on southern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. As a medium-sized airport located at 63 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial, regional, and general aviation operations. The airport's strategic coastal location makes it an important transportation hub for Vancouver Island.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at CYYJ demonstrate predominantly favorable flying environments, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 71.1% of the time. Pilots can expect westerly winds averaging 6.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 26°C, creating relatively stable atmospheric conditions throughout the year, with September, October, and January offering the most consistent VFR weather.
Notable Features
The airport features three asphalt runways with varying lengths: Runway 09/27 at 7,000 feet, and two shorter runways at 5,027 feet (03/21) and 5,001 feet (14/32). All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, minimizing crosswind challenges. The airport's coastal location near Victoria likely introduces maritime weather influences that pilots should anticipate, including potential fog events (4.4% occurrence) and variable visibility.
Approach Considerations
With consistent wind patterns predominantly from the west (270°), pilots can generally expect smooth approach conditions. The average crosswind remains relatively low across all runways (3.4-4.5 knots), providing flexible landing options. Visibility averages an impressive 21.9 statute miles, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced visibility periods, with 1.3% of observations showing visibility below 3 statute miles.
Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
