New airport Uber service starts this week at YLW.

Kelowna residents can now ride Uber to and from Kelowna International Airport, starting Tuesday.

Uber now joins other transportation providers like taxis, limousines, ride-hailing, shuttles, and buses, to offer more choices and convenience for travellers.

“We are excited to have Uber available at YLW to provide an additional transportation option for passengers at the airport,” said Sam Samaddar, YLW chief executive officer. “By offering more transportation choices, we aim to provide passengers with the flexibility and control they need to plan their travel to and from the terminal.”

Uber service will now complement the existing transportation options at YLW and will help provide passengers with flexibility and control over their travel plans.

“We’re thrilled how Kelowna residents and visitors have embraced Uber for safe, affordable, and reliable ride options since our launch last June. And now we’re excited to extend this to airport trips. Now when they are coming through YLW, they can use Uber to help them get where they want to go when they need to," says Michael van Hemmen, general manager of mobility for Uber in Canada.

Passengers are advised to follow airport signage and head to the north end of the terminal to arrive at the rideshare zone.

Uber launched in Kelowna in June 2023.
