Quesnel Airport — Quesnel, Canada

Quesnel Airport, assigned code YQZ, lies in the Cariboo region of central British Columbia along the Fraser River. It functions primarily as a general aviation and forestry-support airport, hosting air tanker operations during wildfire season given the region's dense timber and dry summers. Quesnel's economy has long depended on forestry and mining, and YQZ provides charter access, flight training, and emergency medical evacuation capability for residents far from major urban centers. The airport features a single runway suited to smaller aircraft. While it lacks scheduled commercial airline service, YQZ remains a critical piece of transportation infrastructure connecting this remote interior community to the wider province.
