## Description

Set roughly halfway between Chibougamau and Chapais along Route 113, YMT is the air gateway for the remote Eeyou Istchee Baie-James territory of northern Quebec. Owned by Quebec's Ministère des Transports, it handles scheduled and charter flights by regional carriers such as Air Creebec, mixing passengers with belly freight for mines, forestry camps and community supply runs. The field has no dedicated freight terminal, so larger air-cargo consignments are consolidated at Montréal-Mirabel (YMX), Canada's purpose-built cargo airport. For forwarders, YMT matters as a regional supply point rather than a freight handling station.
