Aero Loisirs is a flight school based at La Macaza - Mont-Tremblant international Airport (CYFJ / YTM) in the the Laurentian region north of Montreal which has vast forests, countless lakes and the Mont Tremblant resort. Established in 1996, the company was operating two Cessna 172Ms landplanes (C-GAOA and C-GSZC) and one Cessna 172 on floats (C-FFHJ) in December 2021.

With the closure of the Bomarc missile base in 1971, RCAF La Macaza became the site of a prison in 1978 and the adjacent airport opened for civilian use. Growth of the Mont-Tremblant resort (40-60 minutes away by road) saw customs facilities added in 2000 and Porter Airlines introduce seasonal Dash 8-400 service from Toronto (YTZ). The airport has a small chalet-style terminal building along the east side of the airport, south of the prison. The La Macaza airport is home for a small number of light aircraft and hosts a large number of business aircraft during the winter and summer.

In 1962, the Royal Canadian Air Force opened at airport near the town of La Macaza, 110 miles north of Montreal, Quebec. The 6,000 ft runway was constructed as an emergency landing field and to provide access to a base next to the airport which became home for 447 Squadron armed with 29 nuclear tipped CIM-10 Bomarc surface-to-air missiles which were part of NORAD defences (the other Bomarc unit was at RCAF North Bay, ON). The Bomarc was retired in 1971, the missile base turned into a prison in 1978, and the airport upgraded in 2000 to serve the nearby Mont-Tremblant ski resort.
