North Peace Regional Airport (YXJ), opened in the 1960s, is a compact regional gateway serving Fort St. John and northeastern British Columbia with a single, easy-to-navigate terminal. Although modest in size, YXJ is strategically important for the oil, gas and resource industries and for travelers connecting to larger hubs; it’s not a major airline hub but functions as a base for regional and charter services. The airport is about a 10–15 minute drive from downtown via Highway 97/29, with onsite car rental, taxis and shuttle options to nearby communities. Fares can be higher than at big-city airports due to limited competition, so book early; scheduled service is offered by regional carriers such as Air Canada Express and WestJet Link alongside local charter operators.

Bring a card—there’s no currency exchange and just one landside ATM at North Peace Regional. For better value, use a bank ATM in Fort St. John and withdraw before security to avoid queues and extra fees.
No duty-free at North Peace Regional Airport, but if you’re connecting to an international flight you can shop at your next hub—think World Duty Free in Vancouver or Calgary and Edmonton Duty Free—for savings on spirits, beauty, and sweet treats. These shops generally run from early morning to late at night and are accessible to international departures (including U.S.-bound flights).
Fuel up at a cozy local café in the main hall and a handy grab‑and‑go counter past security, with vending as a backup after hours. Coffee runs about C$3–4.50, snacks C$3–5, and simple meals C$12–18—slightly pricier than Fort St. John, but convenient before you board.
Need quick first aid or a bandage? Friendly staff at North Peace Regional Airport can help and point you to AEDs around the compact terminal, while most medications are a short trip away at Fort St. John pharmacies; basic assistance is free whenever the terminal is open.
There aren’t public lockers here, but storing a bag is still doable: ask airline or car‑rental counters in the ground‑floor hall for a short hold, or use a nearby Fort St. John hotel’s luggage room. Plan around flight schedules and bring photo ID, as counters aren’t open 24/7 and policies vary by provider.
Settle into two simple waiting zones — a compact landside area and the bright gate lounge — with free Wi‑Fi, plenty of outlets, and a small café for quick bites. There’s no formal business lounge, but quiet corners and work‑friendly seating make it easy to relax before you fly.
