## Description

A deep coastal fjord, the peaks of the Coast Mountains and the grizzly country of the Bella Coola valley surround Bella Coola Airport at the western end of British Columbia's Highway 20. Pacific Coastal Airlines connects the Nuxalk Nation community with Vancouver, serving residents and a steady flow of wilderness tourists. No cargo terminal operates at QBC; air freight moves as belly load, while bulk goods arrive by road or coastal vessel. Shippers consolidate palletised and express freight through Vancouver (YVR) for onward carriage. In logistics terms, this is a remote community and tourism field, not a freight node.
