Qualicum Beach Airport — Qualicum Beach, Canada

Qualicum Beach Airport, coded XQU, sits on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, serving the small coastal community of Qualicum Beach. This regional airfield primarily accommodates general aviation, flight training, and light charter operations rather than scheduled commercial service. Its location along the Strait of Georgia makes it a convenient stop for private pilots touring Vancouver Island's scenic coastline. The airport features a single paved runway suitable for smaller aircraft, and its facilities are modest compared to larger island airports like Nanaimo or Comox. Local flying clubs and recreational pilots frequently use Qualicum Beach as a base, appreciating its relatively quiet airspace and proximity to nearby golf resorts, beaches, and retirement communities that define the surrounding Oceanside region.
