Many airlines operating short haul scheduled and charter passenger services from Vancouver to communities on Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia have operated from the "South Terminal" of Vancouver International Airport since the new "Jet Age" terminal with jet bridges opened on the north side of Runway 08/26 on September 10, 1968. The building was originally opened as the "West Terminal" on July 1, 1957 to increase terminal capacity before Canadian Pacific and Air Canada introduced larger turboprops (Vanguard, Britannia) and DC-8s on routes serving YVR.
