Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport has recently shown some love for photographers. They have made camera holes in several locations around its perimeter fence so that photographers can they take photos of airplanes without obstacles.
The airport notes that the project was done in collaboration with local plane-spotting group YQB Aviation. They worked together to identify the best spots for plane-spotting photographers, so the panels could be placed there. Each of the ten holes is surrounded by a metal frame to prevent scratching lenses. The panels also have a sign clarifying that the area is reserved for photographers.
I believe that setting these panels required a small effort, yet they’re such a great move from the airport officials. All ten panels have been set at ten locations around the airport, so photographers can now take their cameras and shoot away.

Nice RPG support base, for maximum precission.
Oh Canada
Not all airports here are doing it. YOW is making it more restrictive.. Closing off an area at the end of one of runways so people can not stop, instead of making it more user friendly.
Dan Boult could you imagine the queues for the holes and all the long lens brigade doubling it?
Krakow Airport & Katowice Airport :)
No holes needed, use a ladder ??
They must have found a loop hole to enable this
Awesome idea….wish we could do that in NY but it’ll never happen.
Yeah,
Here in nunny Australia they’ll hit you with $500.
This is do Canadian ?
You need this in Rocky Ash Burggraaff
Complainant: The hole in this fence is too small for my massive lens.
Yup yuo, YQB is my Home airport???
Wish JFK would do this.
