## Description

Pacific Coastal Airlines and Central Mountain Air anchor the schedule at Campbell River Airport (YBL), linking this part of eastern Vancouver Island mainly with Vancouver and Calgary. The surrounding region — self-styled 'Salmon Capital of the World' — lives on forestry, aquaculture and tourism rather than freight. The airport has no significant cargo operation; air shipments route through Vancouver (YVR), while most heavy goods reach the island by ferry and truck. Floatplanes use Campbell River as a springboard to remote coastal communities and fishing lodges. For forwarders, it is a passenger and bush-flying field, not a cargo gateway.
