## Description

The code YVO marks Val-d'Or, the regional air hub for the sparsely populated north of Quebec, set in the gold-rich Abitibi belt. Air Creebec, Air Liaison and PAL Airlines link the airport to Montréal and the Cree communities of the James Bay region, with Air Creebec moving freight alongside passengers to remote settlements and mine sites. For the area's mining and exploration operators, air transport is often the only practical way to move crews, spare parts and supplies on schedule. Forwarders use Val-d'Or as the transition between the Route 117 road network and territories further north that are reachable only by air. International consignments clear customs through the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The field also serves as a base for water-bombers and bush operations during the wildfire season.
