A new banner that says, ‘Welcome to the Ha-huulthii of the Tla-o-qui-aht Ha’wiih’ greets visitors as they walk through the doors of the Tofino-Long Beach Airport . Nora O'Malley, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter – With an aerial view of Lovekin Rock holding space in the Pacific Ocean just off Long Beach and endless sightlines of rainforest and mountain peaks, the descent into the Tofino-Long Beach Airport might be one of the most beautiful landings on earth.
In June 2024, over 82 years since borrowing the land, a historic Memorandum of Understanding between TFN and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District , who took over management of the airport in 2000, was signed. Most notably, a new banner that says, ‘Welcome to the Ha-huulthii of the Tla-o-qui-aht Ha’wiih’ greets visitors as they walk through the doors of CYAZ and a framed copy of the Tribal Park Declaration of Meares Island will be on display.A landing fee of $2.50 per ticket has already been implemented, with all fees collected going to Tla-o-qui-aht as part of the MOU of co-operation.
