Too expensive for me
Expensive fuel and many fees. Please avoid unless you own a jet and must go to old Quebec City. If you want to visit around you are better going to Trois-Riviere and rent a car.

Quebec Jean Lesage landing/parking fees
Parking fee for AV Jet for 2 hours was $80. Not sure if there will be an additional landing fee from the airport. As of 3/1/2015

re: How much is Landing Fee CYQB?
Since January 2013, there is now a $20 landing fee for light GA. Just got the bill. What a jip.

re: How much is Landing Fee CYQB?
If you are a light general aviation airplane, there are no landing fees. I go there every month or so and do pay a dime in landing fee. However, after one day at one of the FBOs, parking will run around $25/night, worth a phone call to double check. Enjoy this beautiful city!

How much is Landing Fee CYQB?
Anyone know? I have looked all over and I cannot find what the landing fee will be in CYQB. I am in the states and would be traveling there in June. Thanks

FBO Notes
The Petro-T FBO also offers free parking if you fill up with them. The 100LL is 10 cents cheaper if you self-serve. Nice lounge. First ramp off Twy D.

re: Free aircraft parking
I was thinking about flying my family from Ottawa to Quebec City in my Warrior for a couple of nights -- the free parking is excellent news.

Free aircraft parking
The local pilot's club "Les Ailes Québécoises" welcomes transient aircraft to stay for free on their ramp for up to two nights.
