YVR Airport & Sea Island Developments Discussion - Page 555

Could anybody with detailed inside structural knowledge of YVR make a diagram showing precisely where the current moving sidewalks are?
I'm confused on this, and it seems as if some other peoiple are, too.
Thank you for your consideration.

Download the YVR app... go to the interactive map and you can zoom in on all areas of the terminal.... each of the moving sidewalks can be clearly seen as a bold black line outlined in teal.

They just announced a 5.6 BILLION dollar expansion plan. How much money do you want them to spend??

YVR is a very well run airport, among the best in North America.

Another example is WS desire to run an interstitial corridor from A/B to international terminal. This would require pax to walk from B15 all the way to D70 (where the entrance to CBSA primary inspection line starts) and then turnaround and go through the entry formalities. This process would be easily double the advertised walking distance once line ups, vertical circulation, and line ups are taken into consideration.

No I used google maps and plotted it out along the piers.

For example, furthest extend of E pier to futhest extent of D pier at 1.13 KM

I just hope that along those interior"skybridges" such as the one in the Pier D extension film, that there will be moving sidewalks.

Don't soar too high there Icarus

From what I recall, the east terminal option was not favoured because it would require duplication of the "central processor" facilities (customs, etc.).

LeftCoaster · #**11087** Posted **Jan 25, 2017, 10:03 PM**

Honestly it just makes more sense to expand the existing before embarking on a huge new terminal. It's not too surprising really, keep everyone centralized, no duplication of services, shorter travel distances and best of all no steep new learning curve, just an incremental expansion of the status quo.

Eventually YVR may move to an alliance based terminal system, which would mean a 3rd terminal (to match the number of alliances) would make more sense, but they seem to have put that off for now this round. We'll see what the appetite is when we near 35 million PAX.

YYZ-YYJ (not quite YVR, but close) will be served by Rouge this summer. There will be a daily 321, and a daily 763.

I'm not getting grandiose ideas. In the film of the D pier, there were long, overhead walkways. I assume they were for people to transit down the length of the pier.
It would be nice if they had moving sidewalks. / Why?
Because I didn't see any at ground level, the "piers" are long, and if there aren't any moving sidewalks at ground level, that leaves overhead. / That's all.

Johnny Aussie · #**11090** Posted **Jan 26, 2017, 1:07 AM**

Relax!

Even Craig Richmond said the fly through is a concept only. Every minute detail won't be finalised for awhile.

I would assume that the extension will have moving sidewalks like they already have in the D concourse...

Be proactive and write YVR a note if you are so concerned about it.

I noticed that on their last scheduled update but didn't think about posting in the YVR thread.... it's actually a daily 763 and a daily 321.

But....

And that my friend solves the mystery of the last 763 that was presently unutilised!

On behalf of YYJ frequent flyers may
I say: NO NO NO to the 0Rouge A319. We can accept the 767 ad a second flight since the existing flight is way to early in the day especially considering the drive from dowtown Victoria.

I guess more Jazz connections in YVR or YYC.

Mea Culpa

BTW, that last part is actually why I posted it here.

I was being sarcastic. The ideas are so far from grandiose I thought it comical. YVR will put walkways where it makes sense. It's such a strange and minute thing to even be talking about this far out.

Well that's a colossal letdown.

Well, there is still the unsolved mystery of where that extra weekly Rouge flight on Wednesday come from when KIX becomes daily...

Mystery solved!

PVR moving to a mainline 320 on Saturdays.

And that's a wrap!

According to a guy on A.net (who has a grand total of 5 posts) a YVR source said Aeroflot, Turkish and Qatar are interested in flying to YVR pending government approval.

I believe about none of it, short of Turkish and Qatar having "interest", but nothing more than that.

But it's been quiet here lately so I figured what the hell.

Qatar once applied for landing rights at YVR, but was turned down by Ottawa, did it not?
