## Description

Banff Airport (YBA/CYBA) sits inside Banff National Park and is operated by Parks Canada; the Canada Flight Supplement lists it for emergency and diversionary landings only, and prior permission is required. There is no scheduled, charter or cargo operation, so its freight relevance is nil. Air cargo for the Bow Valley is handled at Calgary International (YYC), roughly 130 km east, with road feeder service along the Trans-Canada Highway 1.
