Location

Comox Valley International Airport, designated YQQ, is a joint-use facility shared between civilian commercial aviation and Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Comox, a key Royal Canadian Air Force installation on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The base plays a strategic role in Canada's Pacific Coast defence and search-and-rescue operations.
