## Description

A single 1,500-metre asphalt runway, a modern terminal and full ground handling define Alma Airport (YTF/CYTF) in Quebec's Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, an airfield built for business and charter flying rather than for freighters. The site is run by Développement Économique Alma Lac Saint-Jean and offers parking, refuelling, de-icing, hangar rental and complete ramp handling, but no cargo terminal and no widebody capability. Practical air freight for the region is therefore consolidated at Bagotville (YBG) some 65 km east or Quebec City Jean Lesage (YQB) around 200 km south. Intercontinental shipments run through Montreal, where Trudeau (YUL) carries belly cargo and Mirabel (YMX) operates as the province's dedicated all-cargo airport, both roughly 450–480 km southwest via Route 175 and Autoroute 40. Aluminium smelting and forestry dominate the local economy, and their outbound volumes move by truck and rail to the St. Lawrence ports rather than by air. What YTF does deliver is fast access for corporate travel, medevac flights and urgent spare parts into an otherwise remote industrial region.
