Amos/Magny Airport (YEY)

Amos/Magny Airport operates as a public facility 5 nautical miles west of Amos, Quebec, featuring a 4,992-foot asphalt runway suitable for various aircraft operations in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. The Town of Amos manages this airport serving both local aviation needs and transient traffic with established FBO services provided through the main facility (819-732-4828) and Max Aviation (819-954-1410), both located at 789 route 395, Ste-Gertrude-Manneville. Self-serve fuel systems operate through card-lock technology requiring advance setup and code arrangements, essential for after-hours operations when FBO services may not be staffed. Pilots should contact airport management beforehand to obtain fuel card access codes and understand operating procedures for the automated fuel dispensing systems. Hangar space availability varies seasonally and should be reserved in advance, particularly during winter months when aircraft storage becomes critical due to harsh Quebec weather conditions including heavy snowfall, ice storms, and extreme cold temperatures. The airport provides essential services for regional mining operations, forestry activities, and personal aviation throughout northern Quebec's resource-rich territory. Ground transportation from the airport requires advance arrangement as commercial services are limited in this rural area, with rental vehicles, taxis, and courtesy transportation available through prior coordination. Weather monitoring is crucial throughout the year, with winter bringing challenging conditions including blowing snow, icing, and rapid temperature fluctuations that can affect aircraft operations and fuel systems. Summer operations benefit from extended daylight hours and generally favorable flying conditions, though thunderstorm activity requires careful monitoring. The facility serves as an important link for communities throughout the Abitibi region, supporting medical flights, cargo operations, and recreational aviation activities year-round.
