## Description

Publicly owned and run by the MRC Manicouagan regional authority, Baie-Comeau Airport (YBC/CYBC) sits about nine kilometres south-southwest of the town on Quebec's St. Lawrence North Shore. It offers a 1,829 by 46 metre runway and a terminal of roughly 950 square metres, able to handle both light aircraft and regional airliners. Air Liaison and Pascan connect Baie-Comeau with Quebec City, Montreal Saint-Hubert, Sept-Îles and Lower North Shore points such as Chevery. There is no dedicated cargo terminal: air freight is limited to belly loads on those regional services plus courier and express traffic. The regional economy — an aluminium smelter, forestry and the Manicouagan hydroelectric complex — moves its volumes through the town's deep-water port and along Route 138, complemented by the ferry across to Matane. Time-critical air freight requiring customs clearance is routed via Quebec City Jean Lesage (YQB), roughly 420 road kilometres west, with Montreal Mirabel (YMX) or Trudeau (YUL) for intercontinental shipments.
