Pitt Meadows RCMP and Fire and Rescue have both referred questions to other authorities, while the airport did not respond to requests for comment.

The city is about 40 kilometres east of downtown Vancouver.

The Pitt Meadows Regional Airport is among the busiest airports in B.C. in terms of aircraft movement, with the latest data from Statistics Canada showing more than 10,000 aircraft movements in January.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 30, 2026.
