## Description

Military jets and regional turboprops share the same runway at Saguenay-Bagotville (YBG): the field is principally 3 Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force, flying CF-18 fighters, while a civilian terminal handles scheduled flights to Montreal and Quebec City with Air Canada and Pascan Aviation. It is not a freight airport — only belly cargo on passenger services. Air freight for the Saguenay region routes through Canada's main cargo gateway at Montreal-Mirabel (YMX) and Montreal-Trudeau (YUL). For forwarders, YBG is a passenger feeder, not a cargo handler. Its defining role remains national defence.
