Lethbridge County Airport

Lethbridge County Airport (CYQL) is a medium airport in Lethbridge, AB, Canada. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code CYQL or IATA code YQL. It sits in North America.

Lethbridge County Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Lethbridge County Airport lies at 3,048 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Edmonton. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 1 departing and 1 arriving private-jet legs at CYQL across the next six months of operator inventory. 2 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.
