Opened in 1931, Vancouver International Airport has since grown to become Canada's second busiest airport after Toronto Pearson International. Annually, Vancouver International handles more than 25 million passengers and in excess of 300,000 aircraft movements, making it the world's 60th busiest airport.
Located on the reclaimed land of Sea Island, it is also incredibly close to downtown Vancouver, with just a 20-minute drive, or 30-minute subway ride, needed to cover the 16 kilometres into the city.
The airport is also very distinctive as it boasts two satellite exhibits from the Vancouver Aquarium, including the largest airport aquarium in the world. Opened in 2007, this can be found before security in the domestic terminal.
More than 850 species of marine life - including the bat star, various types of rockfish and the pacific sea nettle - can be seen in the 30,000-gallon tank, while the second exhibit upstairs is home to more than 100 moon jellyfish.
