Comox Valley International Airport / CFB Comox guide

Comox Valley Airport (IATA: YQQ, ICAO: CYQQ) is the main commercial airport for the Comox Valley and central Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It sits about 4.6 km (2.9 mi) north-northeast of the town of Comox at an elevation of 26 m (84 ft). The civilian terminal shares the field with Canadian Forces Base Comox, home of 19 Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

The Government of Canada owns the airfield, and the Department of National Defence and the Comox Valley Airport Commission operate it. The Royal Air Force built the airfield in 1942, and the RCAF took control in 1943. Two runways serve the site: 12/30 is 3,048 m (10,001 ft) long and made of concrete, and 18/36 is 1,523 m (4,998 ft) long and made of asphalt. The terminal covers about 3,300 m2 (36,000 sq ft) and has two arrival baggage carousels.

Air Canada Express, WestJet, WestJet Encore and Pacific Coastal Airlines fly year-round to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Kelowna. Toronto and Puerto Vallarta flights run seasonally. The airport handled 449,849 passengers in 2025, an 11.7 per cent rise on 2024 and a record for the airport.
