A Nanaimo Airport Collaboration

Live on the Island and Stay Connected

A look inside Nanaimo Airport (YCD): ten minutes from home, and one of the quiet reasons Island life works so well.

Behind the scenes at Nanaimo Airport with the Bach Real Estate Group team.

We recently had the pleasure of going behind the scenes at Nanaimo Airport, and we are grateful to the team for opening their doors and giving us an inside look at everything they do.

We feel lucky to have a facility like this right in our backyard, just south of the city. For the families and workers moving to Nanaimo, an airport this close changes everything. It means you can build a life on Vancouver Island without ever feeling cut off from wherever you came from. Direct flights to Vancouver, Calgary, and Kelowna keep you connected to family, work, and the rest of the world, all from a small, easy airport you can get through in minutes, not hours.

What struck us most was the people. The crew, the management, the whole team work incredibly hard, and year over year they keep improving the services and making this airport better for everyone who depends on it. It is easy to take an asset like this for granted. Spending time inside reminded us how much goes into keeping our corner of the Island connected.

You really can have both. The slower, more beautiful pace of Island life, and a direct flight home whenever you need one.

For us, that is a big part of what makes helping people move here so rewarding.

Thinking about making the move to the Nanaimo area?

We put together a free relocation guide to help you figure out where you would fit best, from neighbourhoods and pricing to schools and the day-to-day of Island living.

If you are already weighing up areas, the Nanaimo neighbourhood guide compares them side by side.
