Frequently asked questions
Where is customs clearance handled for aircraft arriving at CYVO?
Val-d'Or Airport itself is not listed as a customs clearance site. The nearest customs airport is CYYB, located approximately 121.5 nautical miles away. Crews planning a border crossing into Val-d'Or should route their customs clearance through CYYB before or as part of their arrival planning. This distance is significant enough that it should factor into fuel and routing decisions for international flights. Confirm current customs procedures directly with Canadian authorities before departure.
What runway does Val-d'Or Airport (CYVO) offer for business aviation traffic?
Val-d'Or Airport, identified by the code CYVO, has a single runway, 18/36, measuring 10,000 feet long and 150 feet wide. The surface is asphalt, and the full length is paved. This runway length places CYVO among airports capable of handling a wide range of business jet types without runway length as a limiting factor. The airport's maximum paved surface across the field matches this same 10,000-foot figure.
How much business aviation traffic moves through Val-d'Or Airport (CYVO)?
Val-d'Or Airport recorded 1,920 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 10,656 total annual operations, according to FAA TFMSC data. Since CYVO is in Canada, this figure reflects cross-border traffic as tracked by the FAA rather than the airport's full operational count. Monthly business aviation activity varies across the year, with July showing the highest count at 237 operations and February the lowest at 107. This traffic pattern is worth noting when planning ramp or handling coordination around peak months.
Is there seasonal variation in traffic at CYVO worth planning around?
Yes, business aviation traffic at Val-d'Or Airport shows a concentrated pattern across the year rather than an even spread. Operations rise notably in April and again in July, reaching 213 and 237 movements respectively, compared to lower counts in winter months like February at 107. Crews scheduling flights into CYVO during these higher-traffic months may want to build in extra coordination time with ground handling. The pattern reflects cross-border operations as tracked by the FAA under 2025 data.
What are winter operating conditions like at Val-d'Or Airport?
Val-d'Or Airport sits at 1,107 feet elevation and experiences a cold winter climate typical of the Quebec region it serves. According to estimates from the climate data source, January sees an average high near 13.3°F with roughly 30.8 days per month below freezing, and snow accumulation of one inch or more occurs on an estimated 3.6 days that month. December and February show similarly cold conditions with 30.4 and 28.1 days below freezing respectively. Crews operating into CYVO in winter should plan for sustained sub-freezing temperatures and periodic snow across the season.
