15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Vancouver to Winnipeg use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 150 km short after reserves on a 1,864 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Vancouver International Airport has 11,500 ft and Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport 11,000 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
Alternates within range: Boundary Bay Airport (5,606 ft, 19 km) · Pitt Meadows Regional Airport (5,003 ft, 35 km) · Abbotsford International Airport (9,600 ft, 63 km) · Nanaimo Airport (6,602 ft, 52 km) · Winnipeg / Lyncrest Airport · Winnipeg / St. Andrews Airport (3,000 ft, 22 km) · St. François Xavier Airport · Starbuck Airport
