| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saguenay-Bagotville Airport (regional) | YBG | 11 km (7 mi) | 10,000 ft | 522 ft |
| Roberval Airport (regional) | YRJ | 89 km (55 mi) | 5,000 ft | 586 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,000 ft, YBG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 522 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
