Victoria International (YYJ) in the province of British Columbia is Canada’s 11th-busiest airport. While it largely holds a domestic focus, limited international flights to and from Mexico and the US also serve it. Last year, it opened a new taxiway, in a move that it hoped would make airport operations more efficient, but this has remained unusable due to being in a blind spot for ATC.

The new taxiway
Victoria’s new taxiway was constructed as part of a CAD$4.3 million (USD$3.4 million) terminal expansion project at the airport. It measures 366 meters long and is situated at the eastern end of runway 09/27. This asphalt-paved runway is the longest landing strip at Victoria, measuring 2,133 meters long. The extension reached completion last year.
