Frequently asked questions
Where is CYXK located?
CYXK, Rimouski Airport, sits in Rimouski, Quebec, at an elevation of 82 feet. The nearest customs airport of entry is Baie-Comeau Airport, roughly 41 nautical miles away. Operators planning cross-border arrivals should route customs clearance through that facility rather than expecting onsite service at Rimouski. The airport is a secondary field relative to the nearby metro area, about 134 nautical miles distant.
What runway does Rimouski Airport offer?
Rimouski Airport has a single paved runway, designated 07/25, measuring 4,600 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is the only runway available at the field, so wind conditions across this one axis should factor into planning. At 4,600 feet, it accommodates a range of business aviation aircraft but leaves limited margin for larger types under adverse conditions.
How much business aviation traffic does CYXK see?
CYXK recorded 452 business aviation operations against a total of 632 operations in 2025, according to FAA TFMSC data. As this data reflects cross-border traffic seen by the FAA for a Canadian airport, it should be read as an indicator of transborder activity rather than the airport's full operational count. Traffic tier classification places Rimouski Airport at tier 2, consistent with moderate seasonal volume.
When is traffic busiest at Rimouski Airport?
Business aviation traffic at Rimouski Airport concentrates heavily in the warmer months, with May recording 69 operations compared to just 3 in January and February. The period from April through October consistently outpaces the winter months, based on 2025 FAA TFMSC figures. Operators scheduling flexible trips may find quieter conditions outside this May-to-October window.
