National Recognition, Local Pride: Celebrating Success at YNJ

If you haven't seen the Summer 2026 issue of Wings magazine, we have exciting news to share: Langley Regional Airport (YNJ) Airport Manager Patrick Sihota has been named one of the aviation industry's Top 20 Under 40.

While this honour recognizes Patrick's leadership, it also reflects the dedication of the entire YNJ team and the progress we're making together. We're focused on restoring the energy that has always made YNJ a special place—strengthening our airport and supporting a vibrant aviation community for years to come.

That commitment is reflected in everything we do, from investing in important safety improvements, including our upcoming Phase One airfield electrical and lighting upgrades, to listening to your feedback and improving how we communicate. Our goal is simple: to build trust through consistency, transparency, and reliable service every day.

Patrick is especially grateful to the tenants who took the time to nominate and support him. Your encouragement made this recognition possible and reinforces that we're moving in the right direction together.

Thank you for being an important part of the YNJ community. We're excited for what's ahead.
