## Description

Air Creebec is the carrier that defines Chibougamau/Chapais Airport (IATA: YMT, ICAO: CYMT), flying scheduled services to Montreal-Trudeau and Nemaska from a single asphalt runway 04/22 of about 1,980 metres (6,495 ft). The field lies roughly 20 kilometres southwest of Chibougamau, between that town and Chapais, and serves the mining, forestry and community traffic of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory, including charters. No dedicated freight terminal, freighter handling or customs post is documented at YMT, so goods travel as belly cargo on the regional turboprops: spare parts, workshop supplies and food rather than palletised consignments. Larger or international shipments are consolidated in the south at Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) for network connections and Montreal-Mirabel (YMX) for freighter operations, both about 700 road kilometres away and home to the relevant customs offices. Overland, Route 167 runs south towards Lac-Saint-Jean while Route 113 links Chibougamau and Chapais with the Abitibi region, and most mine and sawmill supply moves on those roads. For forwarders, YMT is a dependable regional supply point rather than an air cargo station.
