Chetwynd Airport — Chetwynd, Canada

Chetwynd Airport, coded YCQ, is located in the Peace River region of northeastern British Columbia, an area shaped by forestry, natural gas extraction, and hydroelectric development around the nearby Peace Canyon and W.A.C. Bennett dams. The airport primarily serves general aviation and charter flights tied to resource industries, including crew transport to remote work camps. Chetwynd itself is known for its collection of chainsaw sculptures displayed throughout town, a quirky cultural landmark for visitors arriving by air. YCQ's runway accommodates light aircraft rather than large commercial jets, reflecting the town's modest population and industrial focus. The airfield remains a practical asset for a region built around energy and timber.
