## Description

A modest terminal, a rebuilt main runway and no cargo warehouse: Brandon Municipal Airport (IATA: YBR, ICAO: CYBR) serves Manitoba's second city with a single scheduled route, WestJet's roughly seven weekly flights to Calgary as of January 2026. The city-owned field sees no freighter traffic and has no air cargo terminal, leaving only limited belly space for courier items and spare parts. Capital spending continues nonetheless: Transport Canada committed more than CAD 10 million from the Airports Capital Assistance Program in 2023 to rehabilitate runway 08-26, taxiway A and apron 1, following a terminal expansion completed in 2017. The Westman region lives on wheat, canola and farm machinery, and those volumes leave the prairie by truck and rail rather than by air. Time-critical air freight is processed and customs-cleared at Winnipeg Richardson (IATA: YWG), about 215 km and under two hours east on the Trans-Canada Highway 1, with Regina (IATA: YQR) some 390 km west as the alternative. The Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum on the field recalls its origins as a Second World War flight-training station.
