Spencer Aviation

Spencer Aviation provides fuel services at Penticton Regional Airport in the South Okanagan, operating as a Shell Canada fuel dealer. The airport has a single runway suitable for smaller business jets and turboprops. Customs are available with advance notice for international arrivals, requiring pre-arrangement with Canada Border Services. The FBO provides the essential services for private aviation visits to the South Okanagan: fuel, basic ground handling, and coordination for onward travel. Penticton sits between Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake in the heart of British Columbia's wine country, with over 80 wineries within a short drive of the airport. The town is also a gateway to Apex Mountain Resort for skiing and Okanagan Lake for summer recreation. For charter passengers, Penticton offers a quieter arrival experience than Kelowna, the larger city about 60 kilometers to the north, though the runway and facility limitations mean large-cabin jets may need to use Kelowna instead. The airport is a short drive from downtown Penticton and the lakefront resort strip. Ground transport should be pre-arranged, as the airport does not have extensive rental car operations on the FBO side. The Executive Flight Centre also operates at Penticton, providing an alternative fuel and handling option. Spencer Aviation's operation is modest in scale, serving a seasonal market that peaks during the summer months when tourists flock to the Okanagan's beaches, vineyards, and festivals.
