Thunder Bay Airport or Thunder Bay International Airport, (IATA: YQT, ICAO: CYQT), is an airport in the Canadian city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is the third busiest airport in Ontario, behind Pearson International Airport in Toronto and Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

The airport went under major renovations in the 1990s with the addition of an added runway and the airport terminal gained a second floor, two jetways, a large food court, a gift shop and an arcade.

The airport was handed over from the government in 1997 to the Thunder Bay International Airports Authority, a non-profit organization. The airport handled over 600,000 passengers in 2004.
