Transportation To The Airport
Victoria International Airport is 22 km from downtown Victoria. It is served by direct shuttle bus service to and from downtown hotels, by taxis service and by BC Transit routes 83, 86, and 88. By car, the airport is nominally a twenty minute drive from downtown Victoria(with little or no traffic, and a forty minute drive with traffic) via Highway 17.
A new interchange at Highway 17 and McTavish Road, the main highway access point to the airport, was completed in April 2011. Funding for the interchange was shared between the federal, provincial governments and the Victoria Airport Authority.

Famous quotes containing the word airport:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
