Kelowna Shell AeroCentre

Kelowna Shell AeroCentre is the primary FBO at Kelowna International Airport, serving as the private aviation gateway to British Columbia's Okanagan Valley wine country, ski resorts, and lakeside communities. The terminal offers free coffee, tea, and hot water, comfortable seating, cable TV, clean washrooms, and complimentary WiFi. Pilots and crew have access to a well-equipped lounge and a complimentary crew car for running errands in town. The FBO provides on-ramp valet service, meaning your vehicle can be driven directly to the aircraft for a seamless arrival or departure. On-site customs and CANPASS processing handle international arrivals, which is particularly useful for flights from US ski destinations or Pacific Northwest cities. Enterprise Rental Cars has a presence at the facility for immediate ground transport. Hangar space is available on a first-come basis for visiting aircraft, and the FBO handles fueling, de-icing, and storage. Catering, car reservations, and hotel bookings can be coordinated through the front desk. Kelowna is about 15 minutes from the airport and serves as the hub for the Okanagan region, with access to over 200 wineries, Big White Ski Resort (about an hour east), and the summer resort communities along Okanagan Lake. The airport's runway handles large-cabin business jets comfortably, and the FBO's contract fuel program offers competitive pricing for frequent visitors. For charter passengers, the arrival experience is straightforward: step off the aircraft, walk into the terminal, and either pick up a rental car or meet your pre-arranged ground transport.
