Prince Rupert Airport — Prince Rupert, Canada

Prince Rupert Airport, known by the code YPR, is uniquely situated on Digby Island off the coast of British Columbia, requiring passengers to take a ferry or shuttle to reach the city of Prince Rupert itself. This unusual arrangement stems from the mountainous terrain surrounding the mainland, which left the island as the only suitable site for a runway. YPR connects Prince Rupert, a major Pacific port city, to Vancouver and other regional destinations, supporting the area's fishing, forestry, and shipping industries. Fog and challenging weather conditions are common in this coastal region, occasionally affecting flight schedules, but the airport remains an essential transportation link for northern coastal British Columbia.
