## Description

Despite its official status as an airport, Chetwynd (YCQ/CYCQ) in north-eastern British Columbia carries no scheduled flights and no cargo handling at all — it is a general aviation, utility and air ambulance field owned by the District of Chetwynd. The single paved runway measures about 1,366 metres and is usable day and night under IFR, with GNSS approach procedures, an automated weather station and remote flight information service from Edmonton; the terminal is staffed daily from 06:00 to 18:00 and the landing fee is ten Canadian dollars. There is no cargo terminal, no freighter activity and no confirmed CBSA presence or airport of entry status, so international shipments cannot clear here. Fuel is available: Jet A1 through Executive Flight Services and Jet A for helicopters via Ridge Rotors, with winter snow clearing guaranteed within four hours for medevac flights. Air freight for the region therefore travels by road along Highway 97 in the Alaska Highway corridor, to Dawson Creek (YDQ) about 100 kilometres east or Fort St. John (YXJ) roughly 150 kilometres north-east.
