## Description

Forest, lakes and one asphalt strip: Chapleau Airport (IATA: YLD, ICAO: CYLD) in northern Ontario operates a 1,513-metre (about 5,000 ft) runway 05/23 for general aviation, charter and bush flying, with no scheduled airline and no freight service. The field is run by the Township of Chapleau, sits a few kilometres from the town centre and has a shorter second runway alongside the main one. There is no cargo terminal, handling agent or on-site customs office, so consolidated freight and dangerous goods are not processed here; at most, small consignments ride along to camps and lodges. Regional airfreight therefore moves through Timmins (YTS), roughly 200 road kilometres northeast, or Sudbury (YSB), about 300 kilometres southeast, while intercontinental shipments reach the north via Toronto Pearson (YYZ), some 750 kilometres away, where the Canada Border Services Agency handles clearance. Chapleau grew as a railway and timber town on the Canadian Pacific transcontinental main line, which still shapes surface transport in the district. No recent freight or expansion project is confirmed for YLD, which remains municipally run and useful mainly as a fuelling and charter stop.
