Alma Airport
Alma Airport, coded YTF, serves the industrial city of Alma on the shores of Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec, a region historically built around aluminum smelting and hydroelectric power generation from the Saguenay watershed. The airport supports general aviation, corporate charter flights tied to Alma's major aluminum plant, and recreational traffic connected to the lake's popular beaches and the famous Traversee internationale du lac Saint-Jean swim. YTF's paved runway accommodates business aircraft serving industrial clients, though scheduled passenger service remains limited. Alma's blend of heavy industry and lakeside tourism gives YTF a dual role uncommon among similarly sized regional Quebec airports.
