    Kelowna Talks Podcast – Episode 5: What’s soaring at YLW

    Welcome to Kelowna Talks, a podcast presented by the City of Kelowna that explores the why behind the decisions that shape your city. Tune in for weekly episodes with host Bob Evans, Partnerships Office Director with the City of Kelowna, as he welcomes guest subject matter experts to explain the “why” behind the processes and decisions that influence the lives of our citizens.

    This week, Bob is joined by Airport Director Sam Samaddar to discuss the past, present and future happenings at Kelowna International Airport. Sam is passionate about aviation in all aspects of his life—from becoming an air cadet as a child to obtaining a private pilot license by the time he was 18 and now as Kelowna’s Airport Director. Operating an airport during a pandemic hasn’t been easy but Sam is keen on the future of Kelowna International Airport. 

    Listen to the full episode to find out how YLW pivoted during COVID-19, what the airport means for Kelowna and what it may look like in 2045.
