Frequently asked questions
What is the customs status at CYRQ?
Trois-Rivières Airport (CYRQ) is listed as an Airport of Entry with a fifteen-person limit under its AOE/15 designation. This means customs processing is available on the field, but only for arrivals with fifteen or fewer persons on board. Operators planning arrivals with larger passenger or crew counts need to make separate arrangements ahead of the flight. Dispatchers should confirm current AOE/15 conditions with Canadian border authorities before filing an international arrival to this airport.
How long is the runway at Trois-Rivières Airport?
Trois-Rivières Airport (CYRQ) has a single paved runway, designated 05/23, measuring 9,006 feet long and 150 feet wide. The surface is asphalt, and this length is also recorded as the airport's maximum paved runway distance. That figure supports a wide range of business aviation aircraft without length restrictions typical of shorter fields. There is no second runway listed in the airport's data, so all fixed-wing traffic operates on this single strip.
What does business aviation traffic look like at CYRQ?
CYRQ recorded 568 business aviation operations against a total of 1,481 annual operations in 2025, according to FAA TFMSC data. Since the airport is in Canada, this figure reflects cross-border traffic as tracked by the FAA rather than the field's total activity. Monthly counts ranged from a low of 35 in April to a high of 73 in October. Traffic also rose notably in July, reaching 61 operations. Dispatchers should treat this as a partial, cross-border view of activity rather than a complete operational picture.
Is there a seasonal pattern in traffic at Trois-Rivières Airport?
Yes, business aviation traffic at Trois-Rivières Airport (CYRQ) shows a concentration in the fall months, according to FAA TFMSC cross-border figures for 2025. October stands out as the busiest month with 73 operations, well above the monthly average, and November also runs higher than most other months at 53. Earlier months, particularly April at 35 operations, sit at the low end of the range. Dispatchers scheduling flexible trips may find shoulder months easier for slot and ramp planning.
What winter weather conditions should crews expect at CYRQ?
Trois-Rivières Airport (CYRQ) sees a pronounced cold season, with average days below 32°F ranging from about 27 to 30 days per month between December and February. Snow accumulation of one inch or more occurs on roughly 3.5 to 4.4 days per month across those same winter months. Average high temperatures in January sit near 21.9°F, among the coldest readings of the year. Crews planning winter operations should factor in de-icing and cold-weather procedures given the sustained freezing conditions.
