Baie-Comeau Airport — Baie-Comeau, Canada

Baie-Comeau Airport, coded YBC, serves the industrial city of Baie-Comeau along Quebec's North Shore, a region shaped significantly by aluminum production and hydroelectric development. This regional airport supports business travel tied to major industrial employers alongside connections for residents of Quebec's remote Cote-Nord area. Baie-Comeau's founding is closely linked to newspaper magnate Robert McCormick's paper mill investments in the early twentieth century, and the airport has evolved alongside the city's industrial growth. Flights typically connect to Quebec City and Montreal, providing essential access given the region's distance from major urban centers. YBC also supports occasional traffic related to nearby hydroelectric projects and forestry operations that continue to define the North Shore's resource-based economy.
