Comox Valley International Airport / CFB Comox — Comox, Canada

Comox Valley International Airport, coded YQQ, occupies a unique dual role as both a civilian airport and Canadian Forces Base Comox, located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Serving the Comox Valley communities, YQQ handles scheduled commercial flights to Vancouver and Calgary while simultaneously supporting military operations, including search-and-rescue squadrons and fighter jet training for the Royal Canadian Air Force. This joint-use arrangement makes YQQ a critical piece of both regional civilian transportation and national defense infrastructure. The base's long runway, originally built for military purposes, gives Comox Valley International Airport capacity well beyond what its passenger volume alone would require.
