## Description

Aluminium dominates the economy around Alma (YTF) in Quebec's Lac-Saint-Jean region, home to a major Rio Tinto smelter, yet the airport itself carries no significant air freight. Pascan Aviation links the town with Montreal and Quebec City on regional passenger routes. Heavy, schedulable industrial output moves by road and rail, supported by the deep-water port of Saguenay (Grande-Anse) on the Saguenay Fjord. Time-critical air cargo for the province is concentrated at Montreal-Mirabel (YMX), Quebec's dedicated freight gateway. Alma is best understood as a passenger feeder rather than a cargo point.
