## Description

Cardston airfield in southern Alberta sits at roughly 1,185 metres near the Montana border and is a small municipal strip for general aviation, agricultural flying and air ambulance work; there is no scheduled service, no cargo handling and no customs post. Air freight for the region is handled at Lethbridge (YQL) some seventy-five kilometres north-east and, above all, at Calgary (YYC), where Alberta's cargo terminals and customs clearance are concentrated. Cross-border goods traffic to the United States moves overland through the Carway-Piegan port of entry on Highway 2.
