Saguenay-Bagotville Airport — Saguenay, Canada

Saguenay-Bagotville Airport, coded YBG, uniquely combines civilian passenger service with an active Canadian Armed Forces base, home to fighter jet squadrons stationed in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec. This dual-purpose facility supports commercial flights to Montreal and Quebec City while simultaneously hosting military training exercises and CF-18 fighter operations. The surrounding region is known for aluminum production, forestry, and stunning fjord landscapes along the Saguenay River. Bagotville has held strategic military importance since World War II, when it served as a training base for Allied pilots. Today YBG balances its role as a regional civilian gateway with continued national defense responsibilities, making it one of Canada's notable joint-use airports.
