History edit

Initial examination for constructing an airport in Kamloops began in June 1931, when the city leased 46 acres (19 ha) from fruit-growing company BC Fruitlands.[6] The airport's development started in 1936 and the gravel runway was completed in 1938.[6] That same year, Kamloops acquired another 30 acres (12 ha), as well as land for airport use.[6] The Department of Transport, now known as Transport Canada, granted money for airport development in 1939, with the airfield's runway finishing in that year.[6] On April 13, 1939, an Aeronca aircraft made the first official landing on the runway.[6] The airport was publicly opened on August 5, 1939, along with an air show presented at the structure itself with over 30 aircraft.[7][8] Later that month, it was classified as a port of entry by the Canadian government.[6] During World War II, additional activity occurred at the airport.[6] In April 1942, Vancouver-based Gilbert Flight School transferred its service to Kamloops, as civil flights provided in British Columbia's Lower Mainland were canceled.[6]

In addition, the airport was used by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) as an alternate route for the no longer existent Air Transport Command (ATC) for flights to the Soviet Union.[6] During the war Kamloops gained access to 861 acres (348 ha) for further airport expansion, as well as the addition of taxi and apron services.[6] However, after World War II, part of the airport's land were sold to Canada's Department of Agriculture, with the size reducing to 570 acres (230 ha).[6] In May 1944, the Governor General of Canada at that time, Earl of Athlone, entitled the structure Fulton Field, in honor of John Fulton, a Wing Commander server born in Kamloops.[6][9] This was confirmed by George H. Greer, the secretary of the Kamloops Board of Trade at the time.[9] Throughout its history, a number of airlines have served it.[6] Canadian Pacific Air Lines provided daily flights in 1950 connecting to the communities of Quesnel, Prince George, Williams Lake and Vancouver.[6]

By 1951, the airport founded and became headquarters of Central British Columbia Airways, which was later known as Pacific Western Airlines, but is no longer existent.[6] However, the following year, its headquarters was transferred to Richmond's Vancouver International Airport.[6] The federal Department of Transport regained rights to the airport in 1961, beginning an expansion program.[6] The airfield saw its runways expand in 1963 and 1964.

In 1966, Canadian Pacific Air Lines was serving the airport with a Vancouver – Kamloops – Prince George – Fort. St. John – Grande Prairie – Edmonton round trip flight operated with a Douglas DC-6B propliner six days a week and also a Kamloops – Williams Lake – Quesnel – Prince George round trip flown with a Douglas DC-3 six days a week as well with both of these services not operating on Sundays.[10] The first air traffic controllers started working at Kamloops Airport in 1967.[6][11] That year the airport served approximately 29,200 passengers.[6]

There had previously been proposals for relocating the airport due to low public visibility during the fall and winter seasons of a specific year. The move was never carried out because another location could not be found.[6] Instead the airport was expanded by 1969.[6] This saw its administrative buildings, offices, baggage area and coffee shop being improved, costing $85,000.[12]

Also by 1969, jet service had arrived at Kamloops as Pacific Western Airlines had begun nonstop Boeing 737-200 jetliner flights to Vancouver and Calgary with additional nonstop service to Vancouver being operated by the air carrier with Convair 640 turboprop aircraft which the airline called the "Javelin Jet-Prop".[13] There was a flood threat close to the airport in 1972, while in the following year, the airfield's runways were extended.[6] Obtaining 149,027 passengers by 1974, more considered the airport reliable, as it was improved with the addition of more general services.[6]

By 1975, Pacific Western Airlines was operating all flights into the airport with Boeing 727-200 and Boeing 737-200 jetliners with nonstop service to Vancouver, B.C. (YVR) and Calgary, AB (YYC) as well as direct, no change of plane service to other destinations in western Canada.[14]

Kamloops Airport's telecommunication equipment was provided at a separate building in 1977, with 235,600 passengers garnered from it that same year.[6] The airport saw the start of its runways and terminals expansion in 1982 and 1984,[15] while the following year this was completed.[6][16]

In 1985, Pacific Western was operating all flights from the airport with Boeing 737-200 jetliners with nonstop service to Vancouver, Calgary, Cranbrook, Kelowna and Williams Lake. In addition, the airline was flying direct, no change of plane jet service to Edmonton Municipal Airport (YXD), Prince George, Saskatoon, Penticton and Quesnel with Pacific Western also offering connecting 737 service to Toronto, Winnipeg and Regina via Calgary and as well as connecting 737 service to Victoria and Seattle via Vancouver.[17] According to the April 28, 1985 Pacific Western system timetable, the airline was operating up to seven departures a day with 737 jets from the airport at this time.

During 1986 and 1987, the former terminal building was changed to serve as an operation structure.[6] Besides Pacific Western, Air BC and Time Air served the airport with scheduled passenger flights during the 1980s; all three airlines no longer exist.[6] In 1988, the number of passengers dropped to 137,579.[6] The runway has been used by a wide variety of jet and propeller aircraft over the years from Airbus A320, Boeing 727-200, Boeing 737-200, Boeing 737-400, Boeing 737-600, Boeing 737-700 and British Aerospace BAe 146-200 jetliners to Aeroncas, Aero Commander 500s, Cessna 150s and Grumman TBF Avengers since historical dates.[1][18][19] A number of different aerial fire fighting airtanker aircraft have also used the airport including the Convair 580, Grumman S-2 Tracker and Lockheed L-188 Electra.[20] On May 20, 2001, a U.S. Air Force C-32, which is a military version of the Boeing 757-200 and is used for U.S. government VIP flights, was present at the airport.[21]

In 1995, the airport no longer had jet service to either Vancouver or Calgary with these services being operated instead with turboprop aircraft flown by Air BC operating as Air Canada Connector or by Time Air operating as Canadian Airlines Partner via respective code sharing agreements.[22] According to the April 2, 1995 edition of the Official Airline Guide (OAG), both airlines were flying de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 turboprops into the airport at this time with Air BC operating British Aerospace BAe Jetstream 31 commuter propjets as well.

However, by 2009, the airport terminal, runway and navigation aids were upgraded with about $25 million, which was funded by the British Columbia government, who gave $4 million, the Canadian government, who gave $6.6 million and the airport itself for the remaining money and announced in 2007; $13 million was used to upgrade the runway, $3 million was used to expand the navigation aid, while $4 million was used for terminal improvements.[23][24][25][26] The city's intention was to expand and upgrade the airport in order for the economy and tourism to expand.[23] City mayor Peter Milobar and members of the Kamloops Indian Band praised its expansion.[24] Its catchment area has a population of approximately 138,000 residents.[27][failed verification]

Kelowna International Airport, an international airport operated in nearby city of Kelowna, has had a small impact on this airport, since they both share the same catchment area.[23] About 13 percent of the local residents in 2007 choose the Kelowna International Airport over the Kamloops Airport to fly to regional destinations, specifically due to its significant growth.[23] Despite this, some Kelowna residents choose the Kamloops Airport over their local airport.[28][failed verification]

On May 17, 2020, a Canadair CT-114 Tutor plane from the Snowbirds, Canada's military flight demonstration squadron, crashed in Kamloops shortly after takeoff, injuring the pilot and killing a passenger.[29]

The largest aircraft to visit Kamloops was an RCAF Airbus CC-150 Polaris bringing in the investigators for the aforementioned crash.

419 (City of Kamloops) Squadron edit

John Fulton is an alumnus of the class of 1929 at Kamloops Secondary High School. While growing up in Kamloops, he became enamored of flying. For a short while he tried banking, but he had a longing for something more. After only a year he abandoned banking and went down to the Boeing School of Aeronautics in Oakland, California.

He was attracted to the military way of life and in 1934 travelled to England to join the Royal Air Force. In 1935 he received his commission as a Pilot Officer with a bomber transport squadron. He was deployed to Egypt and stayed there for just over two years.

With the start of hostilities of World War II, he came back to England and flew with a bomber squadron. As the pace of operations intensified Fulton flew over twenty missions in three months. In September 1940 he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross; in January 1942 he received the Air Force Cross; and in August of the same year he also received the Distinguished Service Order.

When the RCAF decided to organize its own 419 Squadron, the first senior officers were Canadians on loan from the RAF. Fulton was the first Commanding Officer. He enjoyed great popularity among the officers and men of the squadron. Indeed, his Squadron often referred to themselves as "Moosemen" after Fulton's nickname.

On the night of August 2, 1942, the Squadron went to Hamburg. On the way home, Fulton's aircraft was set upon by enemy fighters. A single message was transmitted by the aircraft – "Wounded … fighters … five hundred feet." The aircraft was lost over the sea.

The high esteem in which the men of No.419 Squadron held their missing leader was demonstrated by the adoption of his nickname as their own thus immortalizing the first commanding officer of "Moose" Squadron for all time. No. 419 was the only Canadian squadron to be named after a person.

Today 419 Tactical Fighter (Training) Squadron conducts the NATO Flying Training Canada program for Canada, Denmark, Italy, Singapore and the Royal Air Force at 4 Wing in Cold Lake, Alberta. This program prepares future fighter pilots for training on CF-18 class aircraft. Members of the Squadron continue to refer to themselves as "Moosemen."

On May 29, 1964, the Kamloops Airport was "Dedicated in Honour of Wing Commander John Fulton, D.S.O., D.F.C., A.F.C., and the men of the air service from Kamloops and District" by Major General Earl of Athlone K.G. Governor General of Canada. The airport now bears the additional title "Fulton Field."[30]

Food and snacks are available at this airport's terminal,[40] as well as a medical facility, accommodation areas and administrative buildings.[1][12][40][41] There is also a Canada Revenue Agency and Nav Canada offices.[42][43] Its terminal, which is 1,500 square metres (16,000 sq ft),[44] has been considered for further expansion, with the North Shore Business Improvement Association helping this expansion.[45][46] The city's intention was to expand and upgrade the airport in order for the economy and tourism to expand.[23] City mayor Peter Milobar and members of the Kamloops Indian Band praised its expansion.[24] The airport's aircraft obtain their fuel from Shell Canada, which is located on site and serves as an aviation dealer for the Kamloops Airport.[47] The airfield has 2,780 by 49 feet (847 by 15 m) and 8,000 by 148 feet (2,438 by 45 m) asphalt runways aligned 04/22 and 09/27,[1][44] which are appraised every five years.[48]

 
A Nav Canada aircraft sits at the Kamloops Airport, which was expanded to help the local economy and tourism.

Formerly known as the Kamloops Aero Club,[8] the Kamloops Flying Club operates at the airport,[49] which is a club where children receive a flight in an airplane with the pilot and learn about the airplanes themselves.[50] In addition, the flight school Canadian Flight Centre is based on site; the branch based in Boundary Bay, Delta opened a location in Kamloops in May 2012 and uses Cessna aircraft for its lessons.[51][52] Canadian Helicopters operates a training facility for the Kamloops Airport[52][53] Other related facilities include Astaris Canada, CC Helicopters, Highland Helicopters and WestAir Aviation.[53] Formerly, Flight Discovery operated as a flight school at the airport, but the owner was deemed a fraud artist.[54]

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) operates an A-Star helicopter at the airport, while the BC Forest Service occasionally uses the airfield with their helicopters.[55] It maintains an aircraft maintenance centre, while aircraft parts are sold by Inland Communications, Mountainaire Services, Progressive Air Services, Pro Aero Engines, Spring Aviation and Westcan Aircraft Sales & Salvage.[56] Meanwhile, packages can be delivered through FedEx at the Kamloops Airport, while custom and security services are provided by Canada Border Services Agency and Garda Security Screening.[42] There is a radio navigation aid provided at the Kamloops Airport which is used by pilots on aircraft coming from other nearby airports to determine their location.[57][58] The navigation system is owned by Nav Canada,[58] which operate an air traffic control system at it.[59] The Airside Business Park and Fulton Industrial Park are the airport's development areas.[48]

 
The airport's parking lot, which is used to gain access to its terminal that was expanded by 2009

The local and upcoming weather of Kamloops is observed at this airport's weather station, referred to as the Kamloops Airport Weather Station.[31][60] Nav Canada has noted that most of the aircraft winds near the Kamloops Airport blow east and west.[32] It has been classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency.[1] An aircraft at this airport may handle no more than 30 passengers.[1] Skydiving can be performed at the airport through Skydive Kamloops.[49] Passengers may also board a courtesy shuttle to other nearby municipalities, such as Blue River, British Columbia.[61]

It has a number of employees available, with Fred Legace serving as airport manager and a number of maintenance workers serving the airport; Ed Ratuski also manages it.[46][62][63][64] The Kamloops Airport has been owned by a number of companies since its opening. It was initially owned by the RCAF, but later there was a proposal led the RCAF to transfer airport ownership to Kamloops itself, hence why the name was changed to the Kamloops Airport,[6] although it is commonly referred to as Fulton Field or Fulton Airport.[9][65] During the 1990s, Transport Canada, the owner at that time, began a program to transfer ownership of selected regional airports and the ownership of the Kamloops Airport was transferred to the then-new Kamloops Airport Authority Society by August 1997 which is a department of the Kamloops City Council and was composed of its members; it was deemed a commercial operation.[6][66][67] Kamloops Airport Authority Society have a contract with the Vancouver Airport Authority, which allow them to manage and operate the airport.[68] It is operated by Kamloops Airport Limited.[62]
