Val-d'Or Airport — Val-d'Or, Canada

Val-d'Or Airport (YVO) serves the mining city of Val-d'Or in Quebec's Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, an area whose name translates to Valley of Gold in reference to its rich mineral deposits. The airport handles scheduled passenger flights to Montreal and other regional destinations, supporting the movement of mining executives, workers, and equipment tied to the area's gold and base-metal extraction industries. YVO also serves as a logistical base for flights heading further north into Quebec's remote Cree and Inuit communities, given its position as a gateway between southern Quebec and the province's vast northern territories. The airport features a paved runway suitable for regional jets and cargo operations.
