Traffic at YYJ is a study in contrasts: it is a major airport with a small-town feel, managing high-volume commercial routes alongside heavy general aviation. The primary challenges are not runway capacity, but rather the seasonal "surge" management of passengers inside the terminal and the flow of vehicles on the Patricia Bay Highway corridor. For the traveler, understanding the seasonal nature of this traffic—specifically the Sunday afternoon rush and the McTavish Interchange bottleneck—is essential for a smooth journey. ✈️ YYJ traffic reminder: The airport is busy
