Vernon Regional Airport, (IATA: YVE, ICAO: CYVK), is a small, non-towered airport located 1.8 NM (3.3 km; 2.1 mi) southwest of Vernon, British Columbia, Canada. It is one of the few airports in the Okanagan Valley that can offer skydiving due to the fact that all commercial operators must give written consent to a skydiving company for skydiving to occur, something which is not feasible at a larger airport like Kelowna International Airport.
