## Description

A single municipal field with a GPS approach, a maintenance shop and a 26-tonne aircraft weight limit: that is the practical infrastructure profile of Amos/Magny Airport (YEY/CYEY) in the Abitibi region of Quebec. Operated by the town of Amos, it accepts most commercial aircraft below roughly 26,000 kg and is used for charter flights, air ambulance and medevac work and private and business aviation, with the GPS approach allowing arrivals in poor weather. Avionnerie Amos (aircraft maintenance and repair), a base of the carrier Max Aviation and the Ultra-Léger Abitibi ultralight school are located on the site; no dedicated cargo terminal or air-freight bonded warehouse is documented. Freight for the region's mining, forestry and lithium projects therefore moves mainly by truck on Routes 111 and 117 and by rail, with Val-d'Or (YVO, about 70 km) and Rouyn-Noranda (YUY, about 120 km) as the nearest larger regional airports. International air cargo into Quebec arrives via Montreal-Mirabel (YMX), Canada's dedicated freighter airport, or Montreal-Trudeau (YUL), each roughly 600 road kilometres to the south. Amos/Magny is a sound choice for urgent charter and spare-parts flights into Abitibi, but not a transhipment point for scheduled air freight.
