The airport primarily supports general aviation, agricultural operations, and firefighting logistics, given the region's susceptibility to summer wildfires amid its parched terrain. Located along major highway routes connecting the BC Interior to the Lower Mainland, YZA serves as a convenient stop for small aircraft traversing the province. The airport's modest facilities match the small scale of these historic gold-rush-era towns along the Thompson River.
