The first airport manager was Gordon McNeill 1966-1972. By 1972-1973, Pitt Meadows was the busiest airport in Canada with over 250,000 aircraft movements annually, but with the opening of Boundary Bay Airport in Delta, British Columbia in 1983, air traffic at Pitt Meadows Airport declined steadily.

In January 1998, the districts of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows jointly took custody from the federal government under the auspices of the Pitt Meadows Airport Society.[1]

Nine flight training schools are located at the airport. The airport features three asphalt runways, three helipads, IFR approaches, and a separate float plane dock along the Fraser River. The Nav Canada air traffic control tower operates from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. 365 days per year.

In 2019, the airport terminal was moved to make room for a new 40,000 sq ft (3,700 m2) two-level terminal building. The new terminal opened in January 2022.[5][6][7]
