In 2000, the Liberal federal government proposed expanding the airport's runway for use by charter tour jets, since it is the closest airport to the popular tourist spot Percé, as part of a federal development package for the Gaspé region,[3] but the plan was not carried out. Currently, neither Pabok nor nearby Michel-Pouliot Gaspé Airport has a long enough runway for most jets, though the Gaspé airport has better instrument approaches.
