North Bay’s Jack Garland Airport (YYB) continues to prove itself as a trusted destination for specialized aerospace testing and training.
Whether it’s advanced systems trials, tactical aviation programs, or pilot training, North Bay offers the uncongested airspace, adaptable infrastructure, and skilled local workforce to support mission-critical operations. A long history of hosting developmental and flight test programs reinforces the airport’s reputation, most recently underscored when Airbus selected North Bay to conduct systems testing with its A350-900 Flightlab aircraft. This international program demonstrates how seamlessly YYB and its partners can accommodate large, complex operations.

Anchored by Voyageur Aviation Corp. and Canadore College’s Aviation Campus, businesses located at the airport employ over 500 people in areas such as MRO, flight training, and advanced technology services. With a 10,000-foot runway capable of handling any aircraft, North Bay provides a competitive alternative to congested Southern Ontario airspace. Its central location also positions the city as an ideal cargo hub, with access to more than 100 million people and six border crossings within a day’s drive.
Aerospace training is a critical component of the local industrial park, supported by Canadore College’s state-of-the-art airside facility. Thousands of alumni trained in aviation maintenance, avionics, structural repair, and rotary wing operations now work across the globe, demonstrating the reach of North Bay’s workforce development. The airport also participated in the International Runway Friction Index Testing Program with Transport Canada, NASA, FAA, NRC, and European partners to define global standards. Together, these capabilities position North Bay as a go-to destination for niche aerospace training and testing opportunities.
