## Description

WestJet and Flair Airlines anchor the scheduled passenger side of YXX, but for freight forwarders the real draw is the airport's dedicated cargo building, which handles general freight, express consignments, perishables and oversized shipments for the Fraser Valley. As the second-busiest airport in BC's Lower Mainland after Vancouver, Abbotsford sits barely four kilometres from the United States border at the Sumas/Huntingdon crossing. The Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) links it straight into Metro Vancouver's port and warehousing belt. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) handles customs clearance on site. Announced expansion plans aim to grow cargo capacity in the coming years. The airport is also widely known for hosting the Abbotsford International Airshow, one of North America's largest air shows.
